Are There Any Scans To Detect The Lumps In Body?

I have multiple lumps in my body. A few are lipomas. Three are under my chin toward the back of my neck. One on my back. One on my wrist and stomach. No one seems to think they are a problem.. Sometimes they hurt..what type of doctor do I see to have them removed? Also, is there a body scan that can detect theses lumps, suppose some are in my organs?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these multiple lumps and all the inconveniences this has caused you. Yes, lipomas are probably at the origin of this and generally do not present any threat to the body. Removing them is optional and is entirely your decision. If you want them removed for whatever reason, feel free to contact a general surgeon who would help you do this.
Please., be informed tat removing them doesn't mean they may never recur again. You may have to remove them time and again because of the tendency of new ones appearing.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to request for more information if need be.
