Lipomas are firm, mobile, slow growing swellings which are benign.
If the swelling is doubling in size rapidly and is hard and painful then it needs to be investigated. A clinical examination,ultrasound scan of swelling and a fine needle aspiration cytology of swelling should be done.
Please consult your doctor.
