Anyone know what may cause fatty lipomas to form? The doc says they are hereditary. I have them in my upper and lower arms, thigh/hams and abdomen. I’ve had about 10 cut out over the years just because they were on the bone or were getting sensitive and to make sure they weren’t anything cancerous. My diet is good overall. Good fats, lots of protein and stay away from sugar for the most part. Typical bodybuilder type of diet. I’d like to not have them grow anymore. As I get leaner they show more. Sort of embarrasing.

Any ideas??

Thanks

They can be irritating to have. One person I know had one in his back that sometimes impaired sitting. Another had it on her forehead. It wasn’t noticeable enough to move.

Unfortunately, many times, the tendency for getting lipomas is inherited. Sometimes it occurs with trauma. Most of the time, the cause is not known.

Here is a good article: http://dermnetnz.org/lesions/lipoma.html

Could these be related to fibrocystic disorder females have? If some iodine may help. Just tossing it out there
