I've noticed a soft, painless lump on my forehead that's about 1.5 cm my doctor said it's a lipoma. It doesn't bother me much but I'm curious about removal options and what the surgery might cost
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Most lipomas are removed surgically by cutting them out. Lipomas typically don't return once they're removed.

View allThe surgery wound from my perianal pus removal a month ago hasn't fully healed yet and there's a small bump on one side - could that be fat? I attached a picture, how much longer might it take to heal completely and what can I do to help it heal faster so I can get back to normal
Bump may be granulation or fat—keep clean, sitz baths, and recheck with surgeon if healing doesn’t progress.

My 3-month-old baby has had an umbilical hernia for the past month. The belly button swelling sometimes goes back in but other times stays out, though there's no pain. The ultrasound didn't show any blockages, but some doctors recommend surgery while others say to wait at least 2 years. What should I do?

I've been dealing with a pilonidal sinus and my doctor is suggesting surgery for it. I've heard that it can keep coming back. Is there any way homeopathy could help with this problem?
While surgery is a common treatment for pilonidal sinus, homeopathic remedies like Silica, Graphites, and Thuja may help alleviate symptoms and potentially prevent recurrence; however, it's essential to consult a qualified homeopathic practitioner for personalized treatment, as homeopathy is not a substitute for surgical intervention, and a combined approach may be necessary to manage the condition effectively.
