Hi there,
A general surgeon can likely remove this. Antibiotics will not help treat a fibrolipoma, and it needs to be removed. I don't think you need to go to a hospital; this can be removed as an outpatient. I would look up general surgeons and this should be a relatively straightforward procedure.
I hope I have answered your questions. Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.
