Hi
First of all, it is important to rule out other causes of neck swelling. If you are diagnosed with lipoma, then it causes no harm even if you do not get it excised. And there is no medicine for reducing its size. Surgical removal is the only solution.
But if you cannot afford surgical excision then don't get it excised as it's asymptomatic.
Thank you for contacting HCM.
