How Can Painful Lipomas In The Armpit Be Treated?

Hi, My husband has multiple lipomas, he just had one removed, but he has them under his armpit`s,and they are hurting him. We have some good Dr.`s but most of them won`t do anything for him. He has fallen,(he has type 2 Diabeties and has it under control ) .When he has fallen,I`ve seen that he stops him self with his arms and knees. I do understand that trauma to the sites I mentioned,can cause these tumers. But how can he have them removed,they are growing... they aren`t small, they have been growing for the last 15yrs. He is 67, and is strong willed, also is there liposuction avaible?

Hi,

The lipoma requires surgical excision only. There is no liposuction available for the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
