Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

I think that you have got multiple lipomas over your body.

They are benign fat collection and completely harmless. They occur due to genetic alteration in the growth pattern of fat cells.

Its a fairly commom contition and is called multiple lipomatosis. You don't need to get them removed unless they grow large in size or causing pain by themselves.

Don't worry about them.

Hope i have been helpful.

Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma
