A member asked:

I have 20-30 lipoma all over my body.i wonder is there a non surgical way to remove them?i went to herbalist he gave me herbs to drink for 6months?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Liposuction has been tried but doesn't work well at all. Direct surgical removal is still the best. There is no oral medication that is effective, not is there any topical cream or lotion that is effective.
