Multiple excisions: The only way to treat them is to excise or surgically remove them.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Mainly genetic...: There is a hereditary predisposition to developing lipomas, and some feel that they may arise after some form of trauma.  You don't really need to do anything to them, but the best way to get rid of them is to have them surgically excised.  If you do have it removed, make sure there is a biopsy of the lesion just to be sure.

See your doctor: Your symptoms may be signs of something significantly wrong.  One cannot tell without a complete history, physical and possible lab/imaging tests.

Lipomas don't infect: If you are going to apply cold compresses  , lipoma is not the one your doctor thinking of,  most likely a sebacious cyst with impending infection. Go back to your doctor , if it is he will drains it  ( i&d) you will have relief from pain.

Question 10

whats the difference between a lipoma, infected lymph node, and cyst? i have a bump on my neck (left back side) and doc says its one of those 3.

Accepted Answer

Can be hard to tell: inflamed lumps like you mentioned can be difficult to tell apart clinically. A lymph node that is swollen is usually deeper in the tissue and the surface skin looks normal. A lipoma is usually not inflamed and is soft to touch and often slides around when pushed or manipulated. A cyst is fro a hair follicle and when they rupture are often inflamed and tender. A biopsy may be needed to find out
