Lipomas are non-cancerous (benign) and are caused by an overgrowth of fat cells. They can grow anywhere in the body where there are fat cells.

doesn't bother me like but i'm really tempted to remove it myself with a razor or buy a scalpel from eBay. seen people on youtube perform the operations on themselves on youtube and it looks incredibly satisfying. skin near knee is thin and not many nerves in either so i doubt it'd be too painful. interesting to test pain tolerance anyway

anyone else ever had one of these and did you do anything about it/get it checked out

I've got them behind my ankles cant remember what gp said she just said they're harmless. I went about one on my back and it was a cyst. Don't try anything stupid u don't know what it is!

First your pets, now yourself. What's next, serial killer?

can u please video this and put it up on youtube when u do it

I know you've had enough of experts undertaker but you really shouldn't self diagnose

Umm doing that to yourself does not sound like a good idea :P Go to a doctor if it bothers you!!

dont do it urself do u wanna end up with sepsis lol!
