Hi Ashutosh,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

Usually, the final treatment of lipomas is surgical removal. If they are not infected neither giving pain, it is not advised to remove them. However, if their presence is altering your daily activities especially when it comes to working and typing, then, you can remove them.

Discuss it further with general surgeon to schedule intervention.

All the best!
