my mom has a lipoma on the back of her neck and it's causing her discomfort is there any way to treat it at home or will she need surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Lipomas are benign tumors made of fat and often don't require treatment unless they cause pain or discomfort. If your mom's lipoma is causing her discomfort, it's best to consult a doctor, who may recommend surgical removal or liposuction. Home remedies are generally not effective for lipomas.

My 18-month-old daughter has had an umbilical granuloma since birth. We tried the common salt treatment but it didn't work. Her belly button gets red sometimes, stays moist, and has mucus buildup. She scratches it a lot, making it worse. Doctors are suggesting surgery now, but I'm really worried are there any other treatment options we can try first?
While surgical excision is an option for umbilical granulomas, it's not always the first approach. Other treatments, like silver nitrate, can be effective, especially if applied by a healthcare professional. It's also important to maintain good hygiene, keep the area dry, and avoid harsh treatments like scrubbing.

My doctor recommended either open surgery or laparoscopy for my condition and I'm not sure which one to choose. Can you explain the pros and cons of each? Also how many stitches should I expect after the procedure?
Open surgery often involves a single, larger cut while laparoscopic surgery uses several smaller ones. This typically results in less pain and a shorter hospital stay for those undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Furthermore, open surgery may leave a larger scar compared to the minor scarring from laparoscopic surgery.
