Could A Painless Bump Under The Feet Indicate Lipomas?
Hi Doctor! I was wondering: I have an odd bump on the bottom of my foot that is mostly painless but, when poked or pressured in the right way, hurts, just like my other lipomas. Is it possible to get lipomas on the bottom of one's foot? Thank you!Samuel

HI Samuel.
Yes, it is possible but this site is rare to have a lipoma.
If it freely mobile, not painful on pressure and not having problem with the surrounding structures, it goes more in favor of a lipoma.
I would advise to get this removed before it enlarges or causes local problems.
If this lump is on a pressure point it is advisable to get it removed. This helps in two ways.
You get rid of the lump and get a tissue diagnosis.
