Ehh mine only show when i'm doing heavy weights, you could ask a doctor about it. I believe they have to be cut out, but i'm not too sure on that.

"Most lipomas can be removed in the doctor's office or outpatient surgery center. The doctor injects a local anesthetic around the lipoma, makes an incision in the skin, removes the growth, and closes the incision with stitches (sutures). If the lipoma is in an area of the body that cannot be easily reached through a simple incision in the skin, the lipoma may need to be removed in the operating room under general anesthesia." - WebMD

I'll probably just deal with mine seeing as they're on the sides of my legs and i don't like stitches...

I also notice after taking creatine the size of lipoma did increase. Could creatine be adding water in these fat tissues like it does in muscle?

Creatine had nothing to do with mine, I didnt use it. I did 200 shoulder shrugs a session, to the point where my traps and shoulder muscles started to burn. Right where I felt the burn, a lipoma popped up a few months later, grew to the size of a orange over 9 years. I was a freak of nature to the point that I contemplated suicide. I did not have medical insurance. Once I got insurance I had to have $35000.00 dollar surgery to remove it, and now its coming back. FML

i had my lipoma removal surgery last week.

and yes, it grows to noticeable size (approximately 9 cm diameter) after i take creatine regularly.
and i even take creatine on rest day.

all the medical forum i have read not found the relationship beetween creatine and lipoma, but strangely it happens to me.
