I'm 38 years old and have developed lipomas fast. I started out with 1 on the top of my right rib cage, just below my right chest and now I have them on my back, mid-stomach, and side stomach. All lipomas seem to be in those areas. Lipomas do hurt when I take a deep breath while exercising. The lipomas give me back pain. Are their herbal cures? I keep reading other site in India that speak of many herbal remedies.
No, there is no “herbal cure” for lipoma that I am aware of.
Generally, I recommend excision to allow for pathologic evaluation (which is the only way to make a definitive diagnosis) and to alleviate compressive symptoms it may be causing (as well as for cosmetic purposes).
Best wishes.
I have big one behind left elbow along with smaller one in same area that are starting to connect. Also one in my upper left thigh size of green grape, and another one right thigh hard and pointy like a dart head, and one more on side of left side of stomach about big as a thumb.
None of it is painful unless I bump them accidentally or try to squeeze them. They all seem to have many blood vessels visually seen in them.
Lipomas are the most common benign tumor; they are composed of adipose tissue. Sometimes these soft, usually mobile masses can grow in size and become an aesthetic or functional concern. Excision is best done when the lesions are smaller.
Malignant transformation of lipomas into liposarcomas it's extremely rare ( and controversial).

Will exercise make my lipoma go away? If so, what type of exercise are effective at getting rid of lipomas?
No, exercise will not help eliminate lipomas. Direct excision is usually the best way to go.
