Thanks for posting the query,

Is there any special treatment to make it dissolve
Brief Answer:
General surgeon will do it
Detailed Answer:
Most lipomas can be removed in the doctor's office or outpatient surgery center. The doctor injects a local anesthetic around the lipoma, makes an incision in the skin, removes the growth, and closes the incision with stitches . If the lipoma is in an area of the body that cannot be easily reached through a simple incision in the skin, the lipoma may need to be removed in the operating room under general anesthesia.
General surgeon will do this procedure.
