Answer: #Lipoma - bump on my leg? Lipomas are not typically painful so that's already a little unusual for what you describe. Lipomas are usually soft, fatty-feeling (not surprising since they're constituted by fat), freely movable, and slow growing.Since that's different from what you describe it doesn't sound like that's what it is.But it's hard to tell from the photo and even with your description. You'll need to be seen in person by a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full and complete assessment including treatment options.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of #RealSelf100
