causes of lipoma - #28503

Arush

I am really confused about these weird lumps I found on my arm, like, they’re really small and squishy. My sister said they could be lipomas, but I'm not sure what that means! I saw a doctor a few days ago, and she mentioned something about the causes of lipoma, but I honestly couldn't follow the whole thing. She said they’re usually benign, which eased my mind a bit, but then my brain went into overdrive thinking about the causes of lipoma. Like, do they just pop up out of nowhere or is it something I did? I mean, my dad had some -- are they genetic or something? This one on my arm is getting a little bigger, and that makes me think about the causes of lipoma again. It’s just frustrating because I've always been pretty active and healthy. Well, most of the time anyway. Is there anything in particular I should be worried about, or should I just chill? Ugh, I hate not knowing. It feels like every time I look at it, I start thinking about the possible causes of lipoma and what I could’ve done different. Gosh, would changing my diet or exercise help? What do y’all think?
