Is there another way to remove or dissolve lipomas?

ChristyManess
I have multiple lipomas, some large some small. Is there a cream or something other than surgery to dissolve them? I currently have no insurance and am not able to have them removed surgically at this time. Just curious. They are on my side, forearms, and upper thigh. I am very self conscious about them because of their prominence.
