Not really: Steroid injections will not dissolve lipomas. If you have 50+ they may not be lipomas, some times subcutaneous neurofibromas look like lipomas, you should have biopsy of one lesion to establish diagnosis, these lesions run in families other alternative see a cosmatic surgeon, for possible removal like liposuction.

Not really: I am not familiar with treating lipomata with steroid injections. Most can be removed through very small incisions. Larger lipomas can be suctioned out through tiny incisions. This may result in a slightly higher incidence of recurrence, but if you are sure these are garden variety lipomas, that is an option that leaves very little scarring. See a plastic surgeon.
