What should I do if I have a lipoma on my body

Lipoma is not only easy to appear on the back of the human body, but also easy to appear under the skin of the shoulders, genitals, buttocks and many other parts of the human body. Moreover, most of the lipomas are benign and the chance of malignant transformation is very low. Therefore, if the volume of the lipoma is very small, it does not need to be treated. If the situation is more serious, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. Let's take a look at what to do if a lipoma grows on the body?

First, what should you do if you have a lipoma on your body? If the lipoma is small and there are no symptoms, then you don't have to go to the hospital. The patient just needs to pay attention to personal hygiene, take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and less spicy foods such as peppers. If the patient develops symptoms such as subcutaneous nodules, skin adhesions, fibrous calcified nodules and edema, he or she should go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible accompanied by family members, so as to quickly determine the cause and provide corresponding treatment, so as not to delay the disease and miss the best treatment period.

Second, if the patient needs to undergo surgery, the local skin should be cleaned in time before the operation to avoid infection. The wound dressing should be kept clean after surgery, and antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as painkillers can be taken when there is pain. Nursing care for people born in the year of the monkey cannot be neglected, and attention should also be paid to their diet. Although lipoma is a benign tumor, it does not have a significant impact on the patient's normal life. However, in daily life, tumors are often exposed to friction from clothes or frequent squeezing by patients, which can cause the tumor to show signs of development or even ulceration. For patients who already have diabetes, they should use hypoglycemic drugs as soon as possible during the treatment, and take oral anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time to prevent the tumor from showing signs of ulceration. Once the affected area is infected, it will be difficult to cure.

What should you do if you have a lipoma on your body? Although the main treatment for lipoma is medication, if medication is ineffective, or if the condition is prone to recurring, surgery can be performed to remove it. This is a minor operation, and the patient can go home to recuperate after the operation, and it will not affect their normal life.
