I'm also taking triphala to cool down my body and ashvashila for energy right now.

I've got these lumps under my skin, which I've learned are called lipomas. They're not painful, but I'm curious if there's any treatment or medication out there that could get rid of them. The doctors Ive spoken to say they're harmless and don't require medicine, but I'm still a bit concerned. Could you give me some advice on this?
While there's no oral medication to cure lipoma, treatment options like steroid injections, liposuction, or surgical removal can be considered
