hi, i'm 16. and a few days ago i noticed a lump about the size of an almond near my left hip, a few inches down from my belly button. i dont have to push very hard to feel it, and sometimes i feel it without even trying. and it hurts. But also, i've been finding these bigger lumps in the main part of my stomach, and when i push on them, they move up, and sometimes i can find them and push them back down. i have no idea what it could be, or if it's just nothing. i told my mom, and all she said was "everyone has lumps." any ideas as to what it might be?
I too have these lumps in my stomach, back, and found a few in my legs. I found these lumps after I lost over 15 pounds. About 4 years ago, I had 18 of them surgically removed. The lab results came back negative, and they were not cancerous. However, I was told to keep a close eye on them. Needless to say, I have not gone back for yearly physicials like I should be doing. I still have about 16 left about the size of an almond or bigger. They hurt occasionally, especially when I push on them. I've noticed them hurting a lot lately because I've lost 10 more pounds. I have a feeling I'll need to get these surgically removed too. Have you had yours checked out?

I noticed very hard lumps in my stomach that wiggle and move around and are very painful when I touch them. What should I do?
I'm 16 / a male, and whenever I rub my stomach and above my hips (up the side of stomach) I can feel lots of lumps. Someone please help.
For a while, I've been noticing a few lumps in the stomach and I don't know what they are. When I rub them, some hurt and some don't. I mentioned this to my doctor but he said it is nothing. Help!
