Answer: Hello there and thanks for using Wellvis

Sorry about the discomfort you are facing with your condition

My reply will be on the assumption that the presence of the lipoma was confirmed my a trained health professional

Lipomas are usually not harmful but cause aesthetic discomfort as in your case and occasionally get infected or are painful Gladly you dont seem to be affected by the last two 

Generally lipomas are removed under local anaesthesia as its a minor surgery

You can connect to any one of our doctors on the platform using the affordable live chat feature where you are sure to be referred to an expert in the procedure 

Thanks again for trusting us at Wellvis and I hope this helps
