What Causes Big Lumps On The Left Hand?

age 32,

height 5'10"

weight 83

medical history- none

I have a lump formation on my body. I have a few of them in my body. The biggest one is on my hand and there are three lumps on my left hand. This has been growing and doctors have told me that this is not harmful and i can ignore it. This was really small a few years ago and gradually it seems to be growing in size. I am really concerned abut this and want this removed.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This lumps are most likely lipomas. Some persons are prone to have them in multiply locations. Such lumps should be soft and rounded. Lipoma is a benign lesion which does not lead to a cancer. However it may cause cosmetic problems or compression in some location.
If it bothers you, please consult general surgeon and consider removal of this lumps.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
