I'm dealing with multiple lipomas on both of my hands. I've spoken to dermatologists at APOLLO Hospital in Chennai and Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, and they advised me to just ignore them since they won't cause harm now or in the future. But honestly, I'm still quite worried, especially since they're growing in number and size. I'm a vegetarian, I don't drink or smoke, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to treat or manage these lipomas. Could you help me understand what my options might be?

Lipomas are usually harmless, but if they are increasing in number and causing concern, there are medications that can help reduce their size or prevent new ones from forming. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.
