Talk to experienced dermatologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
lipomas are usually removed by surgery only. Non surgical methods usually don't work for lipomas. There are certain injections for liquefying them but they do not work all the time.
for measuring a lipoma u can mark the boundaries by feeling them and then measuring with a scale.
