HelIo,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and understood your concerns.

Lipomas are painless swellings.

For lipoma, the best treatment is surgical excision and as it is not a big surgery you can go for it.

Consult a general surgeon online regarding the surgical removal of the swelling.
