Can I exercise to get rid of a lipoma on the back of my neck? I am 20 and 250 lbs. I really hate it. Help

It would be helpful to examine you to determine if you have a lipoma on the back of your neck or if it is something else.  If it is a lipoma, this normally would not change with exercise.  The usual treatment of a lipoma is surgical excision.

I would get a consult to see if you truly have a lipoma or just a buffalo hump.  this would need weight loss with hormonal ooptimization and liposuction (see link).  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question.  In most cases a lipoma will not respond to diet and exercise weight loss and surgery is needed to remove it.  Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, exercise won't help you get rid of your lipoma. A lipoma is a collection of fat cells under your skin that overgrow and create a bump. They are usually harmless, but if yours is causing you discomfort or you don't like the look of it, I would recommend that you book an in person consultation with a dermatologist or board certified plastic surgeon in order to see about getting it removed. It can only be surgically removed, but the procedure is quite simple and is performed under a local anesthetic. When properly removed the lipoma will not grow back in the treated area.
