Are there any treatments (maybe lipo?) that can reduce a fatty hump on back of neck from medical steroid use?

Asked By:El_J in Seattle, WA

I have rheumatoid arthritis and over the years have had many steroid courses for inflammation. Now I have a noticeable hump on the back of my neck that I'm really self conscious of. Is there anything I can do to reduce it's size? Is it just fat?
