Do not try to remove a lipoma yourself
Do not cut, squeeze, burn, freeze, or inject it at home
See a doctor or dermatologist to confirm it is a lipoma
Get medical evaluation if it is growing, painful, hard, fixed, red, or changing
Seek urgent care if it is rapidly enlarging or causing numbness, weakness, or severe pain
The safe removal options are surgical excision or, in some cases, liposuction performed by a clinician
If you want it removed, schedule an appointment with a qualified medical professional
Avoid home remedies and over-the-counter products claiming to dissolve lipomas
Keep the area clean and avoid irritation until it is evaluated
