10 Causes of Lipoma
Cause #3: Injury
When we pick up an injury, our body automatically sets into motion processes that help the body to recover. This means fixing bones, healing wounds, protecting against disease and infection and a host of other things. Even though our bodies are quite effective at this, though, things don’t always go perfectly.
Lipomas are often discovered after an injury, clearly suggesting that injury may be a cause. It is thought, though, that injuries might simply reveal a lipoma that was already there rather than actually causing it. Regardless, they are quite harmless and should have no adverse effect on the healing of the injury.
