What is a lipoma?
A lipoma looks a bit like a lymph node.It is soft to the touch, can move when pressed with a finger, has certain boundaries. And by tactile sensations it resembles a small ball (pea), the size of which inevitably increases over time. A lipoma that appears on a person's body can remain unnoticed for a long time, because it does not cause an increase in temperature or other serious changes. Neither in a calm position nor when pressed, a lipoma absolutely does not cause any pain. It can be located on any part of the body where there is fatty tissue, literally "from head to toe" the body can be subject to the appearance of lipomas. There are even cases when these neoplasms appeared in the abdominal cavity. A lipoma does not cause any harm, except for an unaesthetic appearance. Lipomas swell on the surface of the body, and if there is no way to cover this place with clothes, it looks unattractive.
What can trigger the emergence of Wen's children?
Here we can highlight several well-known onesfactors affecting the skin: Nowadays, food is not as good and healthy as we would like. Most of the ingredients and additives are synthetic, and this leads to stagnation of the body's cleansing process. Failure to follow the daily routine, an unbalanced diet, a sedentary lifestyle, refusal to exercise, lack of oxygen (if you are constantly indoors) - all these seemingly harmless and not at all scary problems provoke the appearance of lipomas on the body. The thing is that the above factors lead to a decrease in the motility of the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal tract), the decay products do not have time to be excreted from the body, so they end up in the so-called "nooks and crannies" of the body and the peripheral zone, where, in fact, the adipose tissue is located. All kinds of "toxins" accumulate here, and when they accumulate in excess, they simply block the ducts of the sebaceous glands. At first glance, a lipoma is quite harmless, but there are cases when a neoplasm that is not removed in a timely manner has seriously mutated. This is due to the fact that old internal lipomas are encapsulated (since they are inaccessible to antibody protection) and become a breeding ground for rapidly developing pathogenic microflora. Radical self-treatment of lipomas by puncturing and squeezing is not welcome. At best, you can easily infect the skin, and at worst, you will cause abnormal development of the structure of adipose tissue.
Can I remove lipomas with folk recipes?
Yes, indeed, only by treating a lipomaFolk remedies should be used as soon as possible. It is necessary to use products that enhance blood circulation in the area where the lipoma has formed. Let's look at some examples of well-known products: Lipoma can be treated with compresses made from freshly picked Callisia fragrans (popularly known as golden mustache). The compress is applied to the swollen area, bandaged tightly and left for 10-12 hours (it is more convenient to do it at night, and for greater effect, wrap it in film). Garlic gruel diluted with vegetable oil can be rubbed into the affected area of the body daily. To quickly increase blood flow to the area where the lipoma has appeared, it is recommended to apply a compress made from raw chicken egg films to it. This product acts immediately. As soon as you see redness and slight swelling on the skin, remove the compress and allow the skin to recover. The procedure should be continued after the skin has completely recovered (when the redness and swelling have completely disappeared). If a lipoma has appeared on hairless skin, you can try to cure it with celandine. Drop fresh juice of the plant onto the affected area. As is known, celandine juice is poisonous. When it gets on the skin, it “eats away” a hole in the lipoma. Then remove the contents using Vishnevsky ointment, baked onion, a freshly picked aloe or plantain leaf (crushed into a pulp). Kalanchoe pulp will help remove the lipoma if you attach it with a bandage for the whole day, changing the bandages daily. In a week, you will see the result. You can apply coltsfoot leaves with the front side to the tumor. Carry out the procedure for 7-10 days. After this time, you will see the result. If a lipoma has appeared on the head, remember that most products can injure the skin. In this case, use mutton fat. Melt 1 teaspoon of fat and apply to the affected area. Massage the tumor intensively, rubbing the product in for 10-15 minutes. After the first massage, the effect will already be noticeable. And if you continue the procedure for more than 4-5 days, there will be no trace of the tumor. Wheat grains will also help. They need to be chewed in the mouth until a gruel forms. Wrap the resulting mass in gauze and apply to the lipoma. This compress should be additionally wrapped in cling film. Wear it all day, changing in the morning. After 4-5 days, a hole with leaking liquid will appear in the lipoma. Continue making wheat compresses until the tumor is completely removed + 1-2 days "just in case". If the lipoma is inflamed, you can apply a cake made of red clay with the addition of kefir and salt to it. Wrap this compress in film and leave overnight, change every day until the tumor is completely removed. During the treatment of lipomas, it is recommended to eat 1-2 tablespoons of cinnamon powder daily. It can be added to coffee, tea, milk, as well as porridge and soups. If you do not want to add cinnamon to your usual food, then take it before meals, washing it down with water.
When is surgery required?
If the lipoma is neglected and has reached a sufficient levellarge sizes, it is difficult to cure using "grandmother's" methods. Removal can be done by surgical intervention methods. If the lipoma has not yet reached 2 cm, it can be removed without cutting the skin (there will be no scars). The doctor injects a special solution under the skin, which provokes the resorption of the contents. If the lipoma is more than 3 cm, then surgical removal is required. It is performed under anesthesia. After such an operation, a small scar remains, but this is better than a protruding lipoma. A relatively new method is laser removal of lipomas in clinical conditions. Such an operation is performed under local anesthesia. It takes little time, healing occurs quickly, there are no defects on the skin. And the conclusion suggests itself: the sooner you notice an emerging lipoma, the easier it will be for you to get rid of it. Do not put off your visit to the doctor until tomorrow.
