With a lipoma, doctors are advised to either leave the neoplasm alone and simply observe it, or cut it surgically. Of course, nobody wants to "fall under the knife", so many people are looking for ways to get rid of the wen in the home. There are a lot of recipes for this purpose, but are they really effective and, most importantly, safe?
Is it possible to heal the wen at home?
If you ask such a question to a qualified doctor, he will answer unequivocally. In medical practice there is generally no concept of "treating a wen", it by definition is removed. The exception is small tumors that do not cause physical or psychological discomfort.
Especially do not try to remove the grease on the face at home. This seal is not a closed comedo and no subcutaneous pimple, it can not be squeezed out. Moreover, such actions can cause irreparable harm to health. Puncture, cauterization, squeezing and other aggressive effects on a small lipoma can cause inflammation due to infection of the tumor with bacteria. As a result, it will increase in size and become obese, requiring immediate removal. Only in this case the procedure will be very painful, and on the face will remain a noticeable scar .
How to treat a small wen at home?
Self-elimination of lipoma is unrealistic regardless of the size of the tumor. Both small and large subcutaneous seals are a capsule filled with a soft fatty tissue. Often the lipoma is permeated with a network of blood vessels. It does not dissolve and does not dry up, it does not even decrease in size.
Finding different ways how to get rid of the wen at home, and practicing these recipes, people put their health at great risk:
- First, folk methods of lipid removal are based on ingredients that can cause allergic reactions , for example, garlic, lemon or honey.
- Secondly, warming up and strengthening of blood circulation in areas with fatty tumors greatly irritates them and stimulates them to grow.
- Thirdly, such influences increase the threat of infection of the zhirovik with pathogenic microorganisms, as a result of which it can become inflamed and fester. In very rare cases, this process leads to the degeneration of the lipoma into a malignant neoplasm.
Therefore, you do not need to experiment on yourself, it's better to trust an experienced surgeon and forget about a wen-hawyer forever.
