hi;
your doctor is right;lipomas are harmless you have to just keep watch if they increase in size;or you have pain.As there is no perfect treatment other than surgical removal (keep in mind surgical procedure can be done for one or two & not for multiple lipomas).My advice would be to ignore them;just in case you are in Mumbai or India let me know i may suggest you some homoeopathic medicine which may help to a certain extent.
thanks
