Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are mostly having lipoma.
Lipoma is benign soft tissue swelling made up of fat tissue.
It is having genetic cause.
Usually no treatment is required because it is harmless.
But if it is painful, enlarging in size, problematic in movements or cosmetically than surgical removal of lipoma is needed.
So if you are not having any of these symptoms than no treatment or surgery is required.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
