My lipoma popped liquid came out at and it came out white creamy liquid look like oat meal and know liquid is this normal?

Question

Do limpomas burst? Do I really need to be put under anesthesia? Can I get a affection in my body from it bursting?

Michael Constantin Gartner, DO · Answer

first of all this does not sound like a lipoma, but instead a sebaceous cyst which popped.  Lipomas do not pop and creamy liquid does not come out of them this would happen with a sebaceous cyst. I would recommend you find a board-certified plastic surgeon by the American Board of plastic surgery who has experience in these issues.Best Regards,Dr. Gartner

Hi, lipoma tend not to burst. From what you describe, it may be that you had a sebaceous cyst rather than a lipoma.
Frequently, lipomata can be excised under local anaesthetic.
