I've had a lump on my chest for a few months now, and it's pressing on my esophagus because sometimes I have trouble swallowing food. It feels like it's right under the skin, maybe on the middle chest bone at the bottom. It's about an inch in diameter, soft, moving, and not painful. Im wondering if it could be a Lipoma since I have other similar lumps on my arms and thighs that haven't caused problems. I haven't been able to see a doctor in person yet because of Covid. Do you think this is likely a benign, noncancerous tumor? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

I've had mild pain on the right side of my abdomen for about a month now and my doctor recommended surgery for appendicitis. Can homeopathy actually cure this or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about going under the knife if there are other treatments that might work
Homeopathy is not a proven treatment for appendicitis. Persistent mild pain in the right abdomen should be taken seriously
