Hi

I understand that this may be disconcerting. One differential for this may be lipoma.Lipoma may present as doughy lumps or bumps on the skin .They may not present with any pain, redness or itchiness. They may slip through your hands when you palpate them. They are movable and may grow in other parts of the body as well. This may not need further intervention, unless they start presenting with pain and redness. In this case , surgical excision may be indicated.

Are there numerous moles on the body?

If yes, are there any suspicious looking moles  among any of these?
