Do you mean
lipoma? A lipoma is a benign tumor of fatty tissue. They can be various sizes and yes even be painful. But they are non-cancerous.
Or do you mean
lymphoma, which is a cancer and needs to be treated?
If it's a lipoma they can be removed, but sometimes can return. Some people are just prone to them and have many of them.
