is lipoma curable - #25147
I am dealing with this weird kind of lump on my arm. At first, I thought it was just a bruise or something, you know? But then it didn't go away and started feeling kinda squishy. My friend said it might be a lipoma, and now I'm freaking out a bit. Like, is lipoma curable? I mean, I’ve been doing some research, and it seems like most of the time they just say they’re benign and don’t really cause problems, but still...this thing is just there, and it bugs me like crazy!! I’ve had it for about 6 months now, and it hasn’t changed much in size but it definitely feels different. I guess I’m just wondering, is lipoma curable or do I have to live with this lump forever? I heard some doctors might just remove it if it’s a bother, but is there a risk with surgery? Or will it grow back? I don’t really want to go through all the trouble if I can just ignore it! Like, is it worth it? Just trying to get some clarity here before I go to a doc or with what to ask — is lipoma curable? Anyone had experience with this??
