There is a hard pimple on my arm. Be careful of lipoma.

Many female friends inadvertently find a hard lump on their arm in life, but there are no obvious symptoms, which is really puzzling. After examination, the doctor initially inferred that it was a lipoma. So what exactly is this lipoma?

What is lipoma?

Lipoma is a common benign tumor that can occur anywhere there is fat. Some cases occur in the limbs, mainly under the skin, but can also be seen deep in the limbs and between the muscle bellies. Most patients are older and it is less common in children. Deep lipomas often grow along the muscles and can reach deep into the periosteum, but rarely invade adjacent bones. Lipomas rarely become malignant and are easily removed surgically.

Causes

1. Dietary factors

People who drink excessively, often eat fatty meat, animal offal, scaleless fish or egg yolks, etc., because they eat too many greasy foods and high-cholesterol foods, lead to excessive new adipose tissue, causing excessive fat cells in the body to aggregate and harden.

2. Too much stress

Excessive work pressure and irritability can cause normal fat tissue and blood stasis to be intertwined. Over a long period of time, connective tissue can form to wrap around fat cells and form lipomas.

3. Bad living habits

Bad habits such as staying up late often will reduce the body's ability to break down fat. The original fat tissue and the new fat cannot be arranged normally, forming abnormal fat tissue, namely "lipoma".
