Lipoma

I went to a dermatoligest before he told me i had a lipoma on my knee. For some reason it went away by it self after a few months. I just got a new one on the same leg but it's in front of my leg. Could it be possible that it moved? I'm not sure what it's. I'm scare that it's cancerous.

Hello,
Lipoma is a benign fatty tumor which appears and disappears on its own. If the lump that you are having starts growing or shows any changes like pain, discharge or itching then please get it seen from a dermatologist. It can be due to boil, abscess, infected cyst or erythema nodosum(results in reddish, painful, tender lumps most commonly located in the front of the legs below the knees).
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
