We all want to have clear, healthy skin,which would not have a single pimple, acne or spot. Unfortunately, not every representative of the fair sex is lucky with this. Many ladies are familiar with such a problem as the presence of a small seal under the skin on the back. And it is not so easy to fight lipomas. It is enough to make the slightest mistake in treatment, as these formations will completely cover all the shoulders. The main trouble that lipomas cause is their appearance. The bulge on the skin does not look very aesthetically pleasing. In addition, if they are located on open areas of the body, they are quite difficult to hide under clothing. And if in winter you can cover your shoulders with a jacket or a scarf, then in summer the situation is much more difficult. You will not be on the beach in a swimsuit closed to the neck or walking around the city in a turtleneck.
What is a wen and how to diagnose it
So, a lipoma is a common name for a tumor.In medicine, this is called a lipoma. Lipomas are small neoplasms that grow in the subcutaneous connective tissue layer. Most often, a lipoma is quite soft to the touch, and when pressed, the contents easily shift to the side. Initially, its size does not exceed a pea, but over time, it can increase in volume. Often, women confuse them with acne. Many women, hearing the word tumor, think of a malignant tumor. Do not be alarmed ahead of time, since a lipoma on the body has nothing to do with oncological diseases. A lipoma is a benign pathology. In addition, it can be quickly and easily removed in a clinic. How to diagnose the disease in time? This can only be done during an examination. In appearance, a lipoma is similar to an inflamed or enlarged lymph node. It is also rounded and slightly convex in shape. This is where the similarities end. Lipomas, unlike inflamed lymph nodes, are painless formations. Their presence does not cause fever. At the first stage, lipomas on the body may be unnoticeable. Over time, the skin begins to thicken and swell. They appear on any part of the body where there is fatty tissue. Even the stomach is no exception. And this causes a lot of inconvenience to girls. Lipomas should not be confused with subcutaneous pimples, which usually appear on the face (chin, nasolabial folds, forehead, cheeks). Pimples occur when there is a violation of the excretion of subcutaneous fat, which comes out through the sebaceous ducts. As a result, the pores become clogged, inflammation begins, and then a small seal appears on the skin. Pus accumulates in the inflamed pimple nodule. Please note: any formation, be it a lipoma or a pimple, cannot be squeezed out or picked with a needle.
Why do wives appear on the body?
Often the reasons for the appearance of lipomas are hidden inimproper metabolism and poor nutrition. We are too fond of food that contains few natural ingredients and a lot of fat. As a result, the work of all the body systems responsible for its cleansing is disrupted. Therefore, try to eat fresh, steamed dishes. Salt and pepper less, do not throw in a whole handful of exotic seasonings. A sedentary lifestyle, irregular and unbalanced diet also contribute to the appearance of lipomas. These reasons lead to a violation of the motility of the digestive tract, which does not have time to remove accumulated decay products from the body. All these "toxins" negatively affect health. This is why people develop lipomas, acne, problems with skin, hair, nails, etc.

Surgical methods of treatment of lipomas
If the lipoma on your body has reachedlarge sizes, it will no longer be possible to cope with it with folk remedies. Before removing the lipoma, the doctor must examine the formation and make a puncture. This will help determine the nature of the tumor. Sometimes an ultrasound or computer examination is required. And after that, you can begin treatment. Option one - injection of a special composition into the tumor, which promotes the resorption of the contents of the lipoma. The advantage of this method is that no scars or marks remain on the skin. However, it is used in cases where the size does not exceed a few centimeters. The second option is surgical intervention. They resort to it when the lipoma has grown more than 3 centimeters. This minor operation is performed under anesthesia. Unfortunately, you will have scars on your body as a memory of it. Plus, at first you will have to avoid many of your usual activities. Laser surgery is a new modern way to remove lipomas. The operation is performed under local anesthesia. The advantage is that after it there are no rough marks on the skin. Healing occurs very quickly. But, unfortunately, this method is not suitable for all women. It is important to remove not only the lipoma itself, but also the capsule that surrounds the tumor. Otherwise, a relapse is possible. If the operation was performed poorly, over time, the lipoma will begin to grow again on the body. Please note: the contents are sent for histological examination. This is necessary to identify malignant tumors.
