Posted under Lipoma Removal q&a

I have a lipoma on my upper buttock outside my right hip, that causes discomfort when active. What should I do?

frog918
at rest or light/short effort...there is no discomfort. .when I work the hip, say going on a hike, after a 1/4-1/2 mile the hip starts to ache. in the vicinity of the mass. This affects my activities. I've had this issue for >10 yr. Finally went to the doctor and they said...oh, its cosmetic and will leave a dimple if we remove it. they didn't care about the chronic discomfort, and advise I do nothing...
