A member asked:

Sir ; i am have multiple lipomas. many of these are initial stage. it will growth month by month. if any medicine is used to control its growth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: some people are prone to making lipomas. For others it may be related to genetic disorder. The treatment for unsightly lipomas or lipomas that are causing discomfort is surgery to remove the lipoma.
