Hello,

Welcome to the forum.

I can comprehend your concern for the present situation.
It gives the impression from your query that you are suffering from the problem of multiple lipomas.

There is no particular treatment by which the lipoma can be prevented. As you are yourself a student of medicine so you must be knowing that these are forming due to formation of extra fatty tissue which never cause any problem.

The only part of treatment is by removal of the existing lipoma by surgery. So do not worry about it.

Hope this information will help you.

My best wishes for good health.

Dr. Sanjay Kumar Kanodia
