Lipomas

Lipomas are a slow growing benign tumor composed of fat found in the subcutaneous tissues, just below the skin. They are most often found on the torso, neck and upper thighs and arms where there is plenty of fatty tissue. However, they have also been found growing inside body organs such as the heart, brain and lungs.

Lipomas occur in 1% of the population and can occur at any age, although most arise around middle age, and are seen predominately in women.

Lipomatosis is a diagnosis of multiple lipomas and affects mainly men.

What causes them?

The tendency to develop lipomas is hereditary and they are also more common in the overweight and the old. They are more common in people with a fatty liver. Sometimes, they can grow after an injury in the affected area.

What are the signs of lipomas?

Lipomas can be felt under the skin as soft smooth lumps and have a rubbery consistency. They can grow to a large size. Symptoms do not generally involve pain; however, the lipoma may be itchy. They are not tender and move easily with finger pressure.

What is the treatment?

Generally, there is no treatment necessary as lipomas are not cancerous growths. However, they may be unsightly and grow to a large size. Your doctor may easily surgically remove the lipoma if it becomes painful, infected or increases in size. Selenium supplements may help to reduce the growth of lipomas. If the patient is overweight or has been exposed to toxins, a raw juice fast and a detox regime consisting of detox herbs and a liver tonic are advised.
