Lipoma on thigh.

I have a lipoma on my thigh. I got it checked by a dermatologist. It becomes painful sometimes with a burning sensation in the nearby area. It usually happens when I exercise and there is pressure on the thigh. What should I do? Please help. I am also attaching the picture of the lump.

Lipoma can sometimes compress nearby nerves and cause pain If its very painful need to rule out angiolipoma

Better to get it removed if it is causing symptoms. It is usually a minor surgical procedure, can get done by a dermatologist.
