A\u00a0lipoma<\/strong>\u00a0is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour composed of fatty tissue that typically develops just under the skin. These soft, rubbery lumps are usually painless and slow-growing. Although a single lipoma is common and generally harmless, some individuals experience\u00a0recurrent lipomas<\/strong>, either the same lipoma returning after removal or new lipomas forming over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the exact cause of lipomas is still not fully understood, several factors are associated with their development and recurrence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
