Hello dear,
I understand your concern.Migraine and Lipomas don't have even far off relation.Lipomas are benign and nothing is to be done for them,just leave them like that.If you are having a definite diagnosis of 'Migraine',there are several classes of drugs for the same like Beta-blockers,Tricyclic antidepressants,Triptans,anticonvulsants and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs(NSAIDS).Please visit your physician so that he can put you on the medication that best suits you.I hope it helps.
