Lump in thigh and forearm
Hi,
I have lump in my thigh and forearm, it has been there for more than a year.
Recently another lump has grown in the back.
Neither of these are painful.
Could you please help me to know that what could be the cause of these and what type of doctor shall I consult ?
Thank you.

A painless lump under the skin could be a Lipoma. Once you visit a surgeon they will take a look at it and might order an Ultra sound scan to see any blood vessel is involved. It could be removed as a day care procedure.
