Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have multiple lipoma on your body. Most probably it is pure lipoma and chances of cancer is very rare. Still for confirmation you can go for FNAC or biopsy of one of your lipoma. Generally no treatment should be taken for multiple lipomatosis. If it increase in size, causing pain or cosmetic problem then only surgery is indicated. Skin specialist has no role in lipoma. You should consult surgeon for that. YOU can consult any general surgeon.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
