I have several lipomas on my hand and really don't want to go through surgery to remove them Are there any other treatments or natural remedies that might help shrink or get rid of them
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While surgical lipoma removal is the most common treatment, several non-surgical options and natural remedies can be explored. Non-surgical options include steroid injections, fat-dissolving injections (lipolysis), and other therapies like cryotherapy or ultrasound according to Marinas Clinic. Natural remedies like green tea compresses, flaxseed oil, and turmeric paste may offer some relief, but their efficacy is not as established as medical treatments

I've noticed I've had some small, hard lumps under the skin on my hands for quite a while now. There are four of them, a bit noticeable but not really big. There's no redness or pain, but I'm a bit curious about what they might be. Could they be blood clots? Should I be concerned?
As you say its painless that could be Lipoma or sebacous cyst,visit general surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management.

I've had acanthosis nigricans on my neck for 11 years now and creams from doctors didn't help at all. I'm overweight but I exercise every day, and my dad has diabetes. I'm 18 and really want to get rid of this completely can plastic surgery or laser treatments cure acanthosis nigricans?
Laser treatments like Q-switch or chemical peels help mild cases—surgery is rare; weight loss and insulin control are key.
