Daughter With Lipoma on Back

Posted By Katherine (California ) on 03/04/2025

My daughter has a Lipoma on her upper back that has gotten larger over the years. I have read only way to remove is surgery. Has anyone used anything that could help remove it naturally?

There is nothing, other than a simple surgery, can remove lipomas. There are videos on YT how to remove small lipomas at home with a sterile scalpel. I had 2 removed from my forearm in a doctor's office, it took less than 5 min for a nurse to make a cut and lipomas popped out. They put a bandaid to close the cut. Unfortunately in a year or two almost at exact spots new lipomas showed up.

Not if it's gotten very large. Go to an excellent Dermatologist in your area, call first and see if they do removal. When I was in training as a PA student one of the Primary Care offices was known to remove them. He was the only Doctor in the area who would do it so we had approx 3/week that we would do....
