These are a very common problem but usually harmless! Lipomas can grow very large in some cases. They typically are not invasive (there are exceptions) and readily removed. They are usually not painful. The reasons to consider removal would be because they are physically in the way (e.g armpit) or getting traumatised from being rubbed ( e.g. On the sternum / brisket/ lower chest)
