Are they doughey and moveable?

If so they could very well be something called lipomas (sounds

scary, really isnt) basically its a small collection of fat in the

soft tissue, and is very common and totally harmless... I dont know

if their mito related or not, but i know many people wihtout mito

that have them. I have 2 at the base of my skull on the back of my

neck... my best friend has one in her thigh that she was convinced

was cancer, but it wasnt.

have a doc take a look at it and they can determine if its worth

being worried about, a simple xray may put your mind at ease....

I hope its just that!

Dawn,

I think I have heard others (adults mostly) speak of having these

lipomas too. I think that I have them though have not been

officially diagnosed as so. they are just fat I believe but would

have them checked out just to make sure. hope this helps,
