A lipoma is a soft, slow-growing, benign lump of fatty tissue that develops just beneath the skin, most often on the shoulders, back, arms, or thighs. Lipomas are usually harmless and painless, but any lump that grows rapidly, becomes painful, feels hard or fixed to underlying tissue, or appears after age 40 for the first time should be examined by a doctor to confirm the diagnosis. This list introduces remedies commonly discussed in homeopathic literature for fatty tissue tendencies, once a lipoma has been confirmed as benign.
Important — Please Read
This article is educational only and not a prescription. A lump should always be medically examined before assuming it is a benign lipoma, particularly if it is growing quickly, painful, hard, or fixed in place. Please consult a physician for diagnosis and a qualified homeopath for individualised constitutional care — do not self-medicate based on this list.
