Multiple Soft Lumps on the Arm : What Is It and Does It Need Treatment?
1 month ago
I have multiple soft, painless lumps on my arm that have been present for a long time and seem to be slowly increasing in size. What could this condition be, and does it require treatment?

These lumps are most likely lipomas, which are benign (non-cancerous) growths made up of fatty tissue. Lipomas usually feel soft, are painless, and grow very slowly over time.
They are generally harmless and do not turn cancerous in most cases. Treatment is not always necessary unless the lump increases in size, causes pain, restricts movement, or creates cosmetic concerns.
If required, lipomas can be safely removed through a minor surgical procedure. A proper clinical examination and imaging tests like ultrasound can help confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
