The area between your skin and the muscle underneath it is where most frequently lipomas appear. You might know them as skin lumps, and they’re actually a growth of fat cells in a thin, fibrous capsule. They are usually small, don’t change in size but can move around your skin. Lipomas are not painful and have a mushy and rubbery texture.
You must be aware that lipomas aren’t cancer and cannot become cancer. They can be found anywhere on your body, but are usually located on the upper parts, such as the neck, arms and armpits, torso and sometimes on your upper thighs.
If you happen to have lipomas you don’t have to get them removed but sometimes they can increase or start causing you pain and discomfort. In that case you might resort to some treatment or their removal.
Homemade treatment
There are certain herbs and natural oils which can be mixed into an effective combination for the treatment of skin lumps. You can use Neem and flax seed oil as the base for your cream in combination with some other natural ingredients.
The medicinal properties of Neem have been used by the ancient Indians as a cure for skin lumps for a long time. It’s very effective in protecting your skin.
On the other hand, flax seed oil is rich in omega 3 and omega 6 acids which are known to be useful against inflammation. Just be careful that the oil doesn’t contain heavy metals like lead and mercury. Another effective base for your lipoma ointment is cooled green tea, and even though it isn’t oil, it’s good for your skin because it contains antioxidants which control the sugar and fat levels in the blood.
If your lipomas are painful, use the homemade cream to massage them, it will alleviate the discomfort.
