can lipoma be cured - #24761
I am really confused about my recent diagnosis. Was sitting in my doctor’s office last week and he told me I have this thing called a lipoma. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of them before. He kept saying that lipoma can be cured, but I'm not sure what that actually means? Like, do I need surgery? I was thinking it's just this little lump under my skin, not really a big deal, but then he started talking about how sometimes lipoma can grow and cause discomfort. I feel this weird pressure sometimes, but mainly it's just there and I forget about it. Still, it's kind of freaking me out, ya know? The idea that lipoma can be cured but not sure if that's just for some cases or all? Is there a way to get rid of it without going under the knife? I’m already stressed about other stuff, I really don’t want to deal with surgery if I can help it. Like is there any other remedy people go for? Or should I just find a specialist? I’ve read mixed things online, some say surgery is the only option while others say they just leave it alone. Just seeking some light on what’s next coz this whole lipoma thing has got me spinning in circles!
