Understanding Lipomas
What Causes Lipomas?
Lipomas are formed when fat cells accumulate in a lump beneath the skin. The precise cause of their formation isn’t always clear, but several factors may contribute:
- Genetics: A family history of lipomas can increase your likelihood of developing them.
- Trauma or injury: In some cases, physical trauma or injury to the skin may trigger lipoma development.
- Other health conditions: Some individuals with familial multiple lipomatosis are more likely to develop various lipomas.
Common Locations for Lipomas:
- Upper arms
- Shoulders
- Back
- Thighs
- Neck
- Chest
Types of Lipomas:
- Superficial Lipomas: These are located just beneath the skin, are soft to the touch, and easily movable.
- Deep Lipomas: These occur deeper in the tissues and may cause more pain, requiring more specialized techniques for removal.
- Fibrous Lipomas: Contain more fibrous tissue, making them firmer and possibly more challenging to remove.
- Pleomorphic Lipomas: A rarer type, these can grow larger and require more intricate treatments.
