General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
A fatty tissue collection in the form of Lump is called Lipoma. It doesn't cause any harm except for the cosmetic reason. If there is pain, increase in size, redness or any other changes, it is better to get it removed.

Please consult a General surgeon, and get examined. They can give you the right plan.
Thanks.
