Fatty issue at thigh

2018-01-22 16:52:07
Hi Doctors, I have a small fatty issue of about 1.5 cm under my skin at my right thigh.. this mass tissue can be felt only when i touch my skin. There is no pain even I touch or press it. The size also remains same for past 2 years.. what kind of fatty tissue is this? I am very worried whether this could be cancerous. Pls advise.

What you are describing sounds like a lipoma. This is a condition where there is localised collection of fat under the skin. Application of creams will not improve it. It would have to be surgically excised if you want to have it removed. If it is the Lipoma are you do not need to worry about it being cancerous. However without proper examination one cannot say whether is it a lipoma or some other condition.
