A lipoma is a benign tumor (non-cancerous) composed of adipose tissue (body fat). It is the most common benign form of soft tissue tumor. It is a slow-growing, fatty lump that’s most often situated between your skin and the underlying muscle layer. Lipomas are usually detected in middle age. Some people have more than one lipoma.
URTICARIA
A lipoma is usually painless and harmless. Lipomas are soft to the touch, usually movable, and are generally painless and non – tender.
The cause of lipomas is unknown. Your risk of developing this type of skin lump increases if you have a family history of lipomas. This condition is most prevalent in adults between the ages of 40 and 60. Certain conditions like adiposis dolorosa, Cowden syndrome, Gardner’s syndrome and Madelung’s diseasemay also increase your risk of lipoma development.
SYMPTOMS
Lipomas can occur anywhere in the body. Lipomas are:
Situated just under your skin. They commonly occur in the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms and thighs.
Soft and doughy to the touch. They also move easily with slight finger pressure.
Generally small. Lipomas are typically less than 2 inches (5 centimeters) in diameter, but they can grow.
Sometimes painful. Lipomas can be painful if they grow and press on nearby nerves or if they contain many blood vessels.
Less frequently, some lipomas can be deeper and larger than typical lipomas.
It can be diagnosed easily through a physical examination. But the possibility of liposarcoma (painful and fastly growing lump than lipoma) has to be ruled out through a biopsy if the symptoms suggests.
HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT
There’s a general tendency to go in for in a surgical removal of Lipomas even if there is no possible harm because of its presence. People move towards surgery for cosmetic reasons. But Lipoma is entirely curable with the use of internal Homeopathic medicines without any application of external painful measures. Homeopathic medicines for lipomas give an effective recovery and there is no need to go in for a surgery in Lipoma cases. With the use of properly selected Homeopathic medicines, not only are the Lipomas dissolved, but the body’s tendency to Lipoma formation is diminished from its root. The Homeopathic treatment for Lipoma always remains constitutional — constitution is basically the symptom picture formed by conjoining the mental and physical symptom peculiarities found in each individual case.
