A long standing, painless fatty lump may be a lipoma, but new pain, tenderness, or discomfort should be evaluated by a doctor. Changes can occur due to pressure on nearby tissues, inflammation, or other causes.
Please consult a general surgeon for an examination. The doctor may recommend an ultrasound or other imaging to confirm the nature of the lump and decide whether treatment or removal is needed. Seek prompt medical attention if the lump grows rapidly, becomes very hard, or develops redness or significant pain.
