It doesn't pain, but with time the lipoma will increase in size and then it may start compressing muscle, nerve and blood vessels which may cause a problem, so it is better to remove the big ones. please visit my clinic for details.

Hello . Lipomas are a harmless skin condition, which are masses of fat tissue. They are often only a cosmetic concern. Rarely the lipoma may turn painful or increase in size. In such a scenario you may consider getting it removed at the skin / surgery clinic .
