I have got like 10 lipomas on my arms and another 5-6 on thighs and stomach. My question is do they stop occurring after certain age or will they keep forming forever. Also is there any treatment to cure lipoma apart from surgery?

Thanks for the query.
Lumps in the skin are not uncommon in general population. Any lump should be taken seriously and merits a consultation. In case it is painful and increasing in size, it requires urgent medical attention. Consider meeting a Dermatologist or surgeon for physical examination and if needed a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or skin biopsy can be done to ascertain the nature of this lump. Skin biopsy will be both diagnostic and therapeutic as well. It will be very comforting to know the diagnosis and will help to make precise treatment plan. Sometimes after a consultation and biopsy, active treatment may not be needed but periodic follow-up is all that may be necessary. Do not delay the consultation. Hope it helps.
Next Steps
You can meet a qualified Dermatologist with MD/DNB/DDVL/DVD degree for proper examination.
