I have a large number of painful lipomas (the lipomas are likely related to my diagnosis of MEN1) in my upper and lower abdomen and at the base of my rib cage. The surgeon I've seen suggested a panniculectomy, which would not take care of the lipomas higher up. She knows insurance won't pay for anything more than that but I want to know what would take care of it ALL. This causes me a lot of pain and infections. What surgeries would get rid of all three tiers, the lipomas and excess skin?
I had lipomas across my body (varied sizes). a year back, i had an infection in the thigh lipoma (in inch dia) & got it operated. again there was fat accumulation in the same place and lipoma recurred. A month back again it got infected & i had another surgery in same place. a hole was left to drain the fluid/ collection. it had healed & was pressing it in perimeter to see if collection is there. I guess i pressed too hard and it got infected again. I am unable to understand the root cause.
I've had a golf size lipoma located on my upper back just below my neck for at least 15 years. It has never given me any problems and doctors have said, there is no reason to remove it. But last week it started swelling, red & infection (I consistently run a low grade fever 99-101). I for sure want it removed now but I doubt surgery is possible without eliminating the infection & swelling. What would be my next step? Visit general MD to clear infection with referral to dermatologist for removal?
Hi, Ive had this lipoma on my back for a few years. Last Thursday it swelled up, became rock hard, red and hot. Since then Ive had low grade fever and flu like symptoms. And lots of shoulder pain. Are the two related? Whats the best course of action? Thanks

Had a 5 cm lipoma on left flank growing slowly. After a normal fnac surgeon operated it on 2nd June .and discharged me after the night . No drainage was there. now there is a tiny abcess on the cut. And there is pain as if it is done only yesterday. The pain is not much but drawing concentration all the time. The pain is like some needle going inside all the time. After this one and half month why should there be light pain on touch or light rubbing?
I'm supposed to get the stitches (above my tibialis anterior muscle) out in the next 1-3 days and I'm nervous that they're not ready to come out & are infected. I'm mostly concerned with what looks like a blood blister on the right side of the incision & the tender knot below the incision. It's still red & sore, but doesn't feel warm/hot and is dry. Does this look infected and unhealed to you? I've been using an antibiotic ointment and taking cephalexin twice a day.
