A lipoma is a subcutaneous tumor,formed from fatty tissue. In particularly unfortunate cases, it can reach up to 10 cm in diameter, but in most cases, a lipoma is just a small cosmetic defect that can be easily hidden with makeup, hair, or clothing, depending on where it appears: on the face or on the body. It is bad when lipomas begin to become inflamed.
Why does the fatty body become inflamed?
Lipoma inflammation - that's enougha serious problem, especially if it is on the face. The reasons why a lipoma can become inflamed cannot be precisely named, but it looks like this: redness, pain when pressed, an increase in the tumor in size and a noticeable feeling of liquid in it. A lipoma can become inflamed under the influence of the following factors:
- close clothing, close to the skin and rubbing it;
- frequent injuries in this area;
- independent removal of the wen.
Whatever the reason, if the lipoma is red, inflamed and painful, you should immediately begin treatment, and for this you have two options: go to the hospital or treat yourself at home using folk methods.
Methods of treatment of lipomas
The first thing you need to do is get rid of the inflammation.If you decide to go to the hospital, you will have to undergo a series of tests. Treatment can be started immediately after receiving the results. If the scale of the problem is not very large, the lipoma can be removed with a laser, but it is worth noting that this is the most expensive way to treat it. If the lipoma is large, you will have to undergo surgery, but it is quite simple and lasts only 10 to 30 minutes. Anesthesia, general or local, is used depending on the situation. After the operation, a small scar or cosmetic suture may remain.
Lipoma treatment at home
If the wen turns red, you canuse a rarer, but no less effective home method for removing swelling. The most famous folk remedy is considered to be a thick gruel of wheat grains. You need to chew last year's wheat grains a little so that it takes the form of a homogeneous gruel. Then collect the resulting mass in gauze and apply it to the formed lipoma. Cover it with cling film on top. You need to treat the inflamed lipoma with such a compress for several days in a row, until the symptoms disappear completely. Coltsfoot leaves will also help with inflammation. They need to be applied to the inflamed lipoma at night. This treatment should be repeated every night until the inflammation is completely relieved. Recovery using these methods will take no more than a week. Treatment can also be carried out with other means, for example, soap and onion ointment. To create this ointment, you need to bake a small onion in the oven. At the same time as baking, grate a piece of laundry soap of the same size on a fine grater. Once the onion is baked, pass it through a blender, meat grinder or other kitchen utensil. You can even just separate it with a fork. Having obtained a homogeneous gruel, mix it with previously prepared soap and apply part of the resulting mixture to the site of inflammation. Cover everything with cling film on top. This compress should be changed three times a day, and the ointment should be stored in the refrigerator. It is worth noting that it is advisable to make a new ointment every day. It should be applied until the lipoma completely disappears.
