fatty tumors, whos got them...?

[testalot]

i have a lump near my injection site. on my gluteous minimus, it's been there 1 year or so, doc says its a fatty tumor. but it isnt free moving, its kinda hard and just stuck in one spot.

also, recently, one was found in my back, lower back, it also doesnt seem soft and free moving. i thought fatty tumors were soft and could be moved around...

any advice would help.

My dad has one on his upper back long as I can remember.

glute sounds like a weird place for one, its it diagnosed by D.R. or an abcess..

there not soft. but they should move a little bit. I had 2 of them removed about 2 years ago.

I have a few -

+2 in my left arm (one between tri and bi OUCH - getting it removed, one at the begining of my forarm nearest to my elbow)
+1 in my right arm at the begining of my forarm
+1 in between my right chest and abs

I FREEKED out when I started working out, because I thought I was growing cancer or something. Turns out I prolly had em for a while, but just started noticing them because I was losing bodyfat . Anyone know if surgery is my only option? Will DNP help?

I have had one on my upper chest for about 10 years. I have a pretty big one on my inside thigh, 2 on my belly, one on my lower back and a little one on my forearm. My wife is fliping out and keeps telling me to go get them checked out. Im prolly going to get them all cut out. They dont hurt but they are annoying as hell.

Ive got 2 on the side of one of my shins and one behind my rt wrist close to the forearm muscle. They are semi hard and dont move a lot. Had them for over 20 years and they do get more visible with less bf. I also have muscle scar lumps from minor unnoticed tears over the years but theyre deeper and feel different.

had one removed 5 years ago, nothing since! I think since I stay so lean now they do not grow.....just a theory.

How are you guys getting these? Grose!

yeah thery are called lipomas. Practically benign and are usually only removed for cosmetic reasons. I had two on near my rib cage. I thought they were swollen lymph nodes but had them removed and they were just fatty deposits. However lipomas are generally soft and flexible, not fixed and rigid.
