Brief Answer:
They may be harmful locally only / there is no medicine for lipoma

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/27 - lipoma in several parts of hand and body - taking Homeopathic medicines - wants to know whether these are harmful...

Lipoma in itself do not transform into cancer hence when small they are not at all harmful
When they enlarge, there are some factors that decide whether they can be harmful locally only.
These factors are:
They are enlarging
Causing any pain
Are on joints
Are on pressure points
Invading the underlying muscles
For cosmetic reasons (not looking good).

If such factors are present consult your General Surgeon.

No medicines of Allopathy, Homeopath or Ayurveda are known to cure lipomas.
Only surgery is curative.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

Sir,
These are enlarging but at a slow rate, pains only when pressed or slide against a surface. They are not anywhere on joints or pressure points, most of it are on my hand between palm and elbow.

And should I get it tested to make sure its not harmful.
