Lipoma
is a
benign
(non-cancerous)
tumor
that is
made up
of fat
cells.
It can
occur in
any
tissue
that
contains
fat but
most
commonly
it
occurs
in the
subcutaneous
(beneath
the
skin)
tissue.
 |
Lipomas
are
soft,
round,
mobile
and
doughy
to feel.
They are
situated
just
below
the skin
and the
overlying
skin
looks
normal.
They are
more
commonly
observed
on back,
extremities,
and
chest.
Lipoma
is more
commonly
observed
in age
group of
40-60
years.
Single
Lipoma
is more
commonly
seen in
women
and
multiple
Lipomas
(Lipomatosis)
more
common
in men. |

Remarks:
Often,
treatment
of a
lipoma
is not
necessary,
unless
the
tumor
becomes
painful
or
restricts
movement.
People
opt for
treatment
largely
for
cosmetic
reasons.
Lipoma
is a
true
surgical
condition
as
medicines
cannot
dissolve
the
accumulated
fat.
Hence
surgical
removal
is the
mainstay
management
for
Lipoma.
If they
do not
harm
you,
they are
better
not
disturbed
surgically. |
Suggestion
about
homeopathic
treatment:
Homeopathy
is NOT
suggested
for
treatment
of
Lipoma. |
