I've read different things online, and it's all a bit overwhelming. Could you help me understand how to deal with it naturally?

While there are no proven natural cures for lipomas, some people suggest remedies like apple cider vinegar, turmeric, or flaxseed oil for their anti-inflammatory properties. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before trying any home treatments.
