A lipoma can appear anywhere on the body, though the most common locations are on the neck shoulders, back, arms, abdomen, and thighs. To the touch, lipomas are usually soft and may move around the area. Though lipomas are almost always benign, anyone who notices a lump growing under their skin should see a doctor to make sure.
