What causes lipomas to appear: why they form and what is the real cause of lipomas under the skin

A fatty tissue on the body (lipoma) is a benign tumor formed from adipose tissue cells. Single subcutaneous lipomas are the most common, but multiple growths of lipomas in the subcutaneous tissue and muscle fibers are also found. Lipoma is a benign (with minimal risk of malignancy) disease with slow growth.

As the wen progresses, it increases in size and in the final stages begins to cause some inconvenience to the patient, depending on the location of the tumor, and also when the disease becomes widespread, forming many wen on the body, limiting the mobility of the limbs and causing acute disturbances in muscle activity and blood supply to tissues. With a significant increase, the tumor compresses the surrounding tissues, blood vessels and nerve endings, causing characteristic clinical symptoms in the form of swelling, pain, sensory disturbances, etc. Based on location, lipomas are divided into:

Subcutaneous;
Myolipomas (located deep in the muscles);
Perineural (located near the nerve trunks);
Adenolipomas (containing glandular cells), etc.

In 98% of cases, lipomas are formed subcutaneously; intermuscular lipomas located in deep soft tissues are less often recorded. Usually lipomas are single (94% of cases), less often multiple. With endocrine disorders, in patients with neurofibromatosis, as well as in women, multiple lesions most often occur. Why do wen appear?

General information

The term lipoma comes from the Latin word for fat.
This is a benign connective tissue tumor. It develops in a layer of loose connective tissue under the skin and can penetrate deep, developing between the muscles and bundles of blood vessels to the periosteum. The ICD-10 code for lipoma is D17. 9 (benign neoplasm of adipose tissue of unspecified location). Speaking about lipoma - what kind of disease it is, it should be noted that among the people, the disease, which is scientifically called lipoma, is often defined as a wen. This tumor grows slowly, has a soft consistency, is mobile and painless. Most often, this formation develops in places where there is little adipose tissue: on the shoulders, upper back, outside the thigh. In most cases, such a tumor does not pose a danger from the point of view of degeneration into malignant. But in rare cases, lipomas in the subcutaneous fat still degenerate into liposarcoma (malignant formations).

Lipoma develops from adipose tissue and is one of the most common soft tissue tumors. Often such formations are multiple, sometimes they appear symmetrically. There are many varieties of such tumors that have certain morphological and clinical features. Such tumors develop equally often in men and women. The average age of appearance of lipomas is 40-60 years.

This article will discuss what a lipoma looks like, why it appears, as well as how to distinguish a wen from a tumor and get rid of such a formation.

How to evaluate the results?

The swelling that appears over the wound in the first days after self-removal of the wen makes it difficult to evaluate the results of the manipulation.

Possible outcomes:

The wen has disappeared;
It shrank but remained in place;
The effect is zero.

If there is no positive result, you should not repeat self-removal of the wen; you should seek the help of a doctor.

Modern radical techniques:

Cryotherapy – destruction with liquid nitrogen;
Electrocoagulation – cauterization of the wen;
Laser therapy – removal of formation with a narrowly directed laser beam;
Radio wave surgery – excision of the wen using a radio knife.

Doctors at specialized medical centers will help you get rid of the tumor painlessly and without complications. They can remove small fatty deposits everywhere: on the eyelids, on the scalp, on the back, in the collar area, in the genital area. But you need to understand that enucleation of a large, inflamed or deeply located lipoma requires a traditional surgical operation - modern gentle techniques are powerless here.

Traditional medicine recipes, especially, do not always give the desired result, even when it comes to removing a small, painless wen. Such home treatments can cause growth or provoke a severe allergic reaction.

Pathogenesis

Currently, there is no consensus on the pathogenesis of lipoma. In some sources, this tumor is considered hypertrophied adipose tissue, in others – a true neoplasm. When tumors occur in areas where adipose tissue is absent, their development is associated with metaplastic transformation of connective tissue cells.

There is a theory that local accumulation of adipocytes occurs due to chromosomal abnormalities affecting the genes that are responsible for the synthesis of TAG lipase. This enzyme regulates the breakdown of fats and energy supply to the body.

There is also a theory that subcutaneous wen appears due to excessive deposition of lipids in adipose tissue cells. Certain prerequisites for the occurrence of such formations appear already during the period of embryonic development, when adipose tissue is just being formed. Subsequently, in adulthood, a wen may form on the arm under the skin or a tumor in other places.

Characteristic symptoms

Wen on the body (the reasons for how to get rid of them are described below) do not have pronounced symptoms.

These are small formations that:

painless to the touch;
do not cause discomfort at the site of occurrence;
psychological discomfort when appearing in an open place.

The appearance of painful sensations is associated with the growth of the wen and compression of blood vessels, nerve endings or trunks.

Classification

Fatty tissue can grow in different places. Accordingly, different types of lipoma are formed. All types of wen are determined depending on a number of characteristics (location, structural features - what the formation looks like, histological features, etc.).

Depending on the location, the following types of wen are distinguished:

Subcutaneous - develops in the subcutaneous fat layer of the skin.
Retroperitoneal – formed in the fatty tissue of the abdomen.
Perineural - such tumors surround the nerve trunks and compress them. In this case, the answer to the question of whether a lipoma can hurt is positive. If the wen is inflamed and hurts, you should consult a doctor. Most often, such lipomas develop at the site of the median nerve.
Intraorgan - can develop in the myocardium, lung and bone tissue.
Articular-synovial membrane and tendons - develop in the joint cavity, between the tendons.
Intermuscular or intramuscular - may appear if the lipoma between the muscle fibers was removed, and the adipose tissue was not completely cleared. Such formation often recurs.
Lumbosacral (epidural) - develop in the spinal canal, near the vertebrae. May appear in patients with Cushing's syndrome , with benign tumors in the pituitary gland .
Angiolipoma is a lipoma of the kidney.
Adenolipoma - localized near the sweat glands.
Myolipoma - forms between muscles and tendon fibers.

Depending on the characteristics of the structure, the following are determined:

Classic - formed exclusively from adipose tissue.
Ring-shaped cervical - develop in the subcutaneous fat tissue, forming a kind of “necklace” around the neck.
Tree-like - appear against the background of inflammation around the joints. They grow inside large joints.
Capsulated - grow in internal organs on the skin-fatty tissue of their internal surfaces.
Cavernous (angiolipomas) are formations through which blood vessels penetrate.
Petrified (ossified) - appear when calcium salts are deposited.
Lipofibromas (soft) - in the cavity of such formations there is adipose tissue and fluid.
Fibrolipomas (dense) - the formation contains adipose and connective tissue.
Pedicled - formations that have detached from the epithelium and formed a stalk
Myxolipomas develop when mucous and fatty tissues mix.
Myelolipomas - such formations include hematopoietic elements. They are formed in the pelvis, retroperitoneum and adrenal glands.
Hibernomas are atypical formations that appear when metabolic processes are disrupted and brown fat is actively formed in the body.

Depending on the histological structure, the following types of lipomas are distinguished:

Nodular - formations inside the capsule are divided into lobules of different sizes. In most cases, lipomas of this type are formed.
Diffuse - develop mainly in systemic diseases associated with impaired fat metabolism.

Causes of lipoma

The reasons for the appearance of wen on the body can be different. Lipoma can be either an independent formation or appear against the background of other diseases. The main causes of lipoma are the growth and compaction of subcutaneous fat. The following factors can provoke this process:

Hereditary disposition - lipomatosis is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. If the disease was diagnosed in parents, then the probability of such formation in children is 75%.
Disturbances at the stage of embryonic development - the cause of the formation of wen in uncharacteristic places is associated with dystopia of embryonic fat cells.
A number of diseases and syndromes - the answer to the question of why lipomas appear may be the presence of certain pathological processes in the body. These are Madelung's disease, Dercum's disease, Cowden's syndrome, etc.
Endocrine disorders - the risk of developing wen increases the hypofunction of the pituitary gland, thyroid and pancreas. Lipomatosis may also be associated with changes in estrogen , diseases of the genital area, and malignant tumors of the upper respiratory tract.
An insufficiently active lifestyle leads to stagnation, which leads to the formation of fat deposits and blockage of the gland duct.
Impaired tissue trophism – due to impaired nutrition of nerve tissue, free fat accumulates in the subcutaneous fat layer.
Injuries – after injury, cell nutrition and metabolic processes are disrupted. As a result, the sebaceous glands can become clogged. The causes of wen on the face may be associated with injuries.
Improper skin care - this factor is sometimes an explanation for why white wen appears on the face. This can be caused by the use of very oily creams or poor quality cleansing of the skin after cosmetics. White lumps are often the result of blocked gland ducts.
Age factor - despite the fact that subcutaneous wen can appear at any age. However, after 30-40 years, metabolic processes slow down, and the body’s defense mechanisms decrease. Therefore, after this age, lipomas appear more often.
Improper nutrition - the appearance of wen can provoke a prolonged insufficient supply of nutrients to the body.
Bad habits - they lead to a deterioration in the function of the immune system and disruption of metabolic processes.
General diseases - diseases of the liver, digestive system, urinary system, diabetes and other diseases associated with metabolic disorders, hormonal imbalance.

Healing ointments for wen

At home, you can use medicinal ointments aimed at dissolving or “pulling out” the lipoma.

Vishnevsky ointment.

The product with a specific odor is based on purified birch tar. As a result of the irritating effect of the ointment, blood actively flows to the site of accumulation of fat cells; the drug also has an antiseptic effect.

Deep penetration of the active substances of the drug stimulates the removal of sebaceous secretions from the capsule to the surface of the skin. The wound heals quickly without leaving marks on the skin.

Using Vishnevsky ointment - a compress under the bandage. To do this, gauze is soaked in medicine, applied to the surface of the wen, and secured with a piece of plaster. The compress should be left in place for up to 12 hours, after a break a new bandage is formed. After a few days, the contents of the small capsule are absorbed.

Ichthyol ointment.

The drug is used against skin infections, relieving inflammation and improving intercellular metabolism. The ointment promotes tissue regeneration and restores blood circulation. Method of using ichthyol ointment - lotion and rubbing into the surface of the wen.

Videstim ointment.

The drug from the group of dermatoprotectors is based on retinol. Videstim is effective in the treatment of eczema, skin cracks and all types of dermatitis. The ointment effectively breaks down fats, stimulates protein synthesis and keratinization of the epithelium. Regular use of the drug dries out the wen, as a result of which it disappears.

To effectively remove a wen at home, lightly lubricate it with ointment 2-3 times a day for a long time.

Balm Vitaon.

The drug is based on extracts of medicinal plants and camphor. The balm has an anti-inflammatory effect and anti-exudative effect. Vitaon stimulates the removal of the wen out and the rapid healing of the wound.

For 4-5 days, Vitaon balm is applied to the surface of the wen in a thick layer, covered with a bandage on top. The compress should be changed as needed.

Symptoms

Symptoms of lipoma, photo

Wen on the body is not difficult to recognize, since the clinical picture of lipoma is characteristic.

The consistency of the tumor is soft, it is surrounded by a pronounced capsule, mobile relative to the tissues that surround it. If you put a little pressure on the formation, it will move to the side. In places where the tumor is constantly compressed, it can grow together with tissues and become less mobile.
The consistency of wen on the body resembles jelly or dough. If the lipoma is deep, it may have a denser consistency.
As a rule, people with such formations do not experience pain. But sometimes, if the nerve endings are affected, a person may feel pain. When a lipoma develops in places where there is constant friction, contact with clothing or injury (under the armpit, on the nipple, under the breast, etc.), abrasions and suppuration may appear.
Pain may be observed in the following cases: if the lipoma borders on nerve endings (perineural lipoma); if the formation compresses nerve tissue; if the contents of the tumor are inflamed or infected.
On the body, wen look like a small tubercle. Initially, their size is no larger than a pea, so often a person may not notice such formations. Over time, the formations may increase in size.
Most often, such formations appear in the upper part of the body - on the chest, shoulder, back, elbow, face, arms. Less commonly, they form on the stomach, groin, butt, and legs. Wen does not form on the palms and soles, since there is no subcutaneous fat in these places.
Sometimes it is possible to develop multiple lipomas. If a person has a lot of wen on his body, what this means is determined by the doctor during the research process.

Wen on the face

Photo of a wen on the face

Speaking about what a lipoma looks like on the face, it should be noted that, as a rule, it is perceived as a cosmetic defect. If white wen or subcutaneous lipoma appears on the forehead, cheek, chin or nose, this leads, first of all, to psychological discomfort and the appearance of complexes. Therefore, it is very important to determine the causes of such manifestations and carry out the treatment prescribed by the doctor. Sometimes a lipoma appears behind the ear or on the earlobe.

In a child, wen may appear on the face immediately after birth. However, in a newborn this condition is physiological. Wen on the cheeks, near the eyes and lips are formed due to underdevelopment of the sebaceous glands. But, as a rule, such formations go away on their own within three months.

Wen on the eyelid

Most often, white wen appears on the eyelids, which develop on the lower eyelid, near the eye. As a rule, wen under the eye looks like small yellow-white nodules. Dense subcutaneous lipoma in these areas is a relatively rare occurrence. Despite the fact that they do not cause pain or particular discomfort, people strive to get rid of wen in such places. It is important to consider that removing such formations on your own can aggravate the situation. Therefore, if a wen appears on the eye, you need to contact a specialist who will suggest the best method to remove such a formation. It should be noted that such a formation developing on the white of the eye is not a wen.

Wen on the neck

A lipoma on the neck, as a rule, also does not cause pain and is a cosmetic drawback. However, if such a formation occurs on the back or front of the neck, it is often injured and compressed. As a result, frequent injury and compression occurs, and this provokes compaction and calcification of the formation. Some sources note that a lipoma on the neck in a child and an adult may be a sign of Madelung's disease, in which deformation of bone tissue occurs.

Wen on the head

Photo of a wen on the head

It happens that a lipoma on the head is formed in the hairy part (on the crown, on the back of the head), since these places also have subcutaneous adipose tissue. The reasons for the appearance of such formations, in addition to those described above, may be associated with diseases of the thyroid gland. It has been noted that lipomas on the head develop more often in women. Such formations also appear in children, which is often associated with the consumption of large amounts of harmful foods, which leads to clogging of the ducts of the sebaceous glands. This leads to the appearance of compactions. How to get rid of such formations on the head, and which doctor to contact, depends on the characteristics of the disease. Wen in children is carefully monitored and, if necessary, removed.

Wen on the leg and arm

Photo of lipoma on the leg

If a wen on an arm or leg has formed at the bend, it is constantly injured, and the tumor gradually becomes denser. If a tumor forms in open areas on the arm, it usually remains small and soft for a long time. It is removed according to indications or if it is located at the bend. Such tumors are less common on the legs. The indications for their removal are similar.

Wen on the genitals

Fatty deposits on the labia appear in the form of small lumps that resemble pimples in appearance. Sometimes when lipomas appear on the labia or clitoris, the fatty contents of the formation are visible, since the skin in these places is thin. Externally, the tumor looks like a tubercle rising above the surface of the skin. A tumor in the groin can be of different sizes. As a rule, it does not cause pain and is discovered accidentally. However, when opening a lipoma on your own, pain, inflammation may occur, and subsequently a fistula .

Men may develop a lump on the scrotum or testicles. As with the formation of such a tumor in other places, it easily moves when pressed and resembles a pea. In the early stages, wen on the scrotum does not cause discomfort, but during inflammatory processes, pain and purulent contents may appear in such a formation.

The appearance of a wen on the penis causes considerable concern among men. The development of such a tumor on the penis is quite rare. Despite the fact that there is usually no pain in such cases, if a lipoma is detected, a man should consult a doctor to prevent its growth.

Wen on the back

Photo of a wen on the back

Very often, a lipoma on the back goes unnoticed for a long time. If the wen does not resolve on its own, it gradually grows over time. A person feels such a formation when it begins to increase, thicken, or when inflammation develops. In such a situation, it is necessary to remove the formation surgically, since it will be difficult to get rid of the overgrown seal using conservative methods.

Breast lipoma

Speaking about what a breast lipoma is, it should be noted that lipoma and breast fibrolipoma are benign tumors that rarely become malignant. The mammary gland contains a lot of subcutaneous fat, therefore, this is a favorable area for the development of fatty tissue. Most often, such formations are located in the subcutaneous layers of soft tissue or behind glandular tissue. In more rare cases, they form in the interlobular fatty tissue of the breast, which leads to tissue deformation and pain. If such a formation appears, you must consult a doctor to rule out more serious pathologies.

How can you tell if a lipoma is growing?

The following signs may indicate that the wen formed on the body is increasing:

sagging education;
swelling, redness and blood stagnation in the area of the lipoma;
dysfunction of the organ and tissue near which the lipoma is located;
discomfort in the tumor area.

If a person with a lipoma experiences similar symptoms, he should definitely consult a doctor and undergo an examination.

How to remove a wen yourself?

When removing even a small formation on your own, it is difficult to avoid pain and bleeding from the opened wound. Therefore, a large wen (more than 1 cm in diameter) must be entrusted to a doctor.

Rules to follow during manipulation:

Hands are washed with soap and disinfected with an antiseptic wipe;
The skin around the wen is disinfected with an alcohol-containing solution;
The opening needle must be sterile; it is better to use a disposable syringe; manipulations with the needle are performed with extreme caution.

Stages of wen removal:

Stretch the skin in the area where the wen is located.
Pierce the upper layer of the epidermis with a needle, and if necessary, duplicate the puncture at an angle of 45°.
Wipe the released blood with a swab soaked in an alcohol-containing solution.
Push out the contents of the wen capsule without pressing it with your fingers.
Apply Vishnevsky ointment, Levomekol or tetracycline ointment to the wound to disinfect and additionally draw out the contents of the capsule.

Tests and diagnostics

If you suspect the development of a wen, you should consult a dermatologist. The doctor examines and interviews the patient, determining how quickly the tumor is growing and what complaints the patient has.

Additional examinations are prescribed to differentiate lipomas from other benign tumors of the skin and subcutaneous fat. For this purpose, the patient may be recommended to conduct the following studies:

Ultrasound examination of soft tissues - during ultrasound, you can determine the size of the node, carry out a differential diagnosis of a lipoma with an epidermoid cyst and other formations in the soft tissues.
Histological examination - examination of tissue samples of the formation allows the identification of mature adipocytes. In a long-existing wen, areas of atrophy can be detected. If the presence of lipoblasts is detected, this indicates myxoid liposarcoma.
MRI – allows you to visualize formations.

Removing wen at home in children

The sebaceous glands on the skin of young children are not able to cope with the removal of breakdown products from the body, resulting in the formation of fatty lumps.
More often, wen forms in children on the face, rarely on the body.

Only small lipomas do not require special treatment.

Therefore, they disappear on their own as a result of regular hygiene procedures.

To speed up the process of getting rid of lipomas on the baby’s skin and to prevent their appearance, the child must be bathed in water with the addition of herbal decoctions of chamomile, calendula or oak bark, in a 1:1 ratio.

These herbs have antibacterial properties, will dry out inflammation and soothe the skin. It is recommended to monitor your baby's skin so that it is always clean and dry.

Significant increases in the size of subcutaneous tumors in children are an indication for an emergency visit to a dermatologist to have the lipoma surgically removed.

Treatment with folk remedies

It is possible to treat wen using folk remedies only if they are practiced as an additional method. Basically, various compresses are used for this purpose.

Kalanchoe and aloe . A fresh leaf of the selected plant is cut lengthwise and the pulp is applied to the affected area. It can be fixed with a plaster or bandage and worn for several hours. Repeat the procedure daily.
Onions with soap . A large onion is baked in the oven, then pureed until it becomes a paste. It is mixed with grated laundry soap. The mass is applied to the lesion and fixed. The compress is replaced with a fresh one three times a day. It is recommended to use it for several days, then take a break.
Honey compress . To prepare it, mix equal parts of salt, honey and sour cream. Apply the mixed mass to the wen and secure the bandage. This compress is carried out every day.
Vegetable oil compress . Mix equal parts sunflower oil and vodka, soak a cloth in the resulting mass and apply it to the lipoma. Cover the fabric with paper for compresses. Carry out the procedure every day, leaving the compress on for several hours.
Garlic and lard . Take two parts of fresh lard and one part of garlic, grind everything in a meat grinder, after which the mass is kept on low heat for about 15 minutes. A thin layer of the mass is applied to the formation, covered with a leaf of fresh cabbage and wrapped in a warm cloth. Treatment is carried out every day.
Red pepper . For such a compress, the fabric is soaked in vodka and 1 tsp is poured onto it. red pepper. Apply it to the formation and hold for about 10 minutes. This compress helps improve blood circulation. However, it can cause burns and allergic reactions.

Medicines

Medicines are practically not used in the treatment of lipoma, since surgical removal remains the main method of treatment.

During the operation, local anesthetics (novocaine, lidocaine) are used. The main contraindication to the use of this group of drugs is the patient’s individual intolerance to a particular drug. An allergic reaction can manifest itself from the appearance of skin rashes (urticaria) to the development of such a dangerous condition as anaphylactic shock. Therefore, it is extremely important to inform your doctor about any allergy, if any, to the local anesthetic before surgery. The most common allergy to novocaine is due to the peculiarities of its chemical structure.

Typically, the postoperative period is not burdened by any side effects, including no pain. Therefore, the prescription of painkillers, which can be found after larger surgical interventions, is not required.

Diet

Diet for skin diseases

Efficacy: therapeutic effect after a month
Time frame: three months or more
Cost of products: 1400-1500 rubles per week

Despite the fact that nutrition does not directly affect the development of wen, it is important for people prone to their formation to adhere to some important rules:

Do not overeat fatty foods.
Reduce the amount of salt and sugar in your diet.
Reduce the amount of baked goods and flour products consumed.
Drink enough fluids.

Prevention

It is impossible to protect yourself one hundred percent from the occurrence of lipomas, but you can reduce this risk by eliminating the factors causing the pathology. If you have a hereditary predisposition or dermatological diseases, you should visit your doctor regularly. The same applies to people with diseases of the endocrine system and liver.

Prevention includes proper nutrition, personal hygiene, and maintaining an active lifestyle. Lipoma is often not dangerous, but if you do not see a doctor and do not treat it on time, it can lead to serious complications.

Consequences and complications

Dangerous complications of lipoma are the processes that can occur inside such a formation. This is possible with wen of different sizes.

Adenolipoma - glandular cells appear in the structure.
Petrified - deposition of calcium salts occurs.
Ossified - bone tissue is formed inside the capsule.
Fibrous - connective tissue is involved in growth.

A large formation can lead to disruption of local blood flow. If stagnation is prolonged, tissue necrosis may occur.

Wen that form on internal organs are dangerous. According to statistics, this happens in 2% of cases. Brain lipoma, preperitoneal lipoma, lung lipoma, parasternal lipoma, etc. require constant medical supervision and, if possible, removal, as there is a risk of their degeneration into a malignant tumor. The indication for surgery is, first of all, parasternal lipoma and other types of large internal wen.

Under the eyes

Wen in the eye area can reach different sizes and cause discomfort when moving the eyelid. Although the reasons for their appearance are the same as on the body, a cosmetic defect on the face causes more psychological discomfort. Treatment is carried out using traditional medicine and folk remedies.

Traditional treatments:

Method	Description of the method	Risks, complications, consequences
Mechanical	Use a sterile needle (scalpel) to open the pre-treated area of the wen and clean out the contents. A medicinal solution is injected into the cavity to prevent the development of inflammation. It is performed under general anesthesia.	Scars remain.
Medication	The lipoma is pierced with a needle and the medicine Diprospan is injected. The drug resolves the wen and requires supervision by the attending physician. The dissolution process is lengthy and repeated administration of the drug may be required.	Has no disadvantages.
Surgical	It is performed under local anesthesia (pain relief). The lipoma is excised along with the capsule. After the operation, cosmetic stitches are applied.	Scars remain.
Endoscopic removal	Through a small incision in the skin, the contents of the lipoma capsule are removed under endoscopic control. The lipoma capsule remains.	If the contents are not completely excised, it may be filled with the resulting adipose tissue.
Electrocoagulation	The contents of the wen are removed from the capsule. External signs of lipoma disappear.	The lipoma may reappear.

Reasons why surgical interventions are contraindicated:

age up to 5 years (lipoma will disappear on its own);
the beginning of menstruation;
hypertonic disease;
acute period of infectious disease;
herpetic rashes;
acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory viral infections;
diseases of the cardiovascular system.

The use of both traditional and folk methods allows you to get rid of lipoma. These products can also be used to treat lipomas on the body.

Medicine	Cooking method	Mode of application
Ointment from onion and laundry soap	Bake the onion in the oven until soft. Then you need to mix 1 teaspoon of grated laundry soap with the onion, ground into a pulp.	The ointment is used 2 times a day. Store in the refrigerator.
Aloe juice	The peel is removed from the aloe leaf and the resulting pulp is used.	The pulp is applied to the area of the wen.
Vegetable oil with garlic	2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil should be mixed with a clove of garlic (finely grated)	Rub the product into the lipoma every day. Use until it disappears completely.

The use of folk remedies for treatment is carried out independently after consultation with a specialist.
