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.

Ultrasound imaging can be done to know the size. There are few lipolytic injection available for its treatment. But needs few sittings depending upon the size. No creams/tablets will work for it
