Lipoma

[-:Undertaker:-]

got this tiny little lump under skin on my knee (size of a small button) that moves around a bit. quite hard.

i read on internet it's something called a lipoma

Lipomas are soft, fatty lumps that grow under the skin. They're harmless and can usually be left alone if they're small and painless.

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!
