Benign Lumps & Cysts

Non-Surgical Resolution — From the Root

Benign lumps and cysts — lipomas (fatty lumps), sebaceous cysts, fibroadenomas (breast lumps), and ganglion cysts — are common and usually harmless. Specific remedies targeting different types of benign growth are selected based on the complete constitutional picture.

Overview

Benign lumps and cysts — lipomas (fatty lumps), sebaceous cysts, fibroadenomas (breast lumps), and ganglion cysts — are common and usually harmless. Specific remedies targeting different types of benign growth are selected based on the complete constitutional picture.

Important: Any new or changing lump must be properly evaluated before treatment — clinical examination and ultrasound or FNAC to confirm it is benign. Never assume a lump is benign without investigation. Dr. Meenakshi will advise on appropriate investigations as part of the consultation.

Symptoms & Types

Lipoma
Soft, mobile, painless fatty lump under skin — most common on neck, shoulders, arms, and back
Sebaceous Cyst
Firm, round, skin-coloured lump with a central pore — common on scalp, face, neck, and back
Ganglion Cyst
Smooth, rounded fluid-filled lump near a joint or tendon — most common on wrist and hand
Fibroadenoma
Smooth, mobile, non-tender breast lump in young women — the most common benign breast lump
Enlarging Lymph Node
Enlarged lymph node persisting after infection — requiring evaluation to confirm reactive rather than pathological
Inflamed Sebaceous Cyst
Sebaceous cyst becoming inflamed, tender, or infected — requiring immediate assessment

Root Causes

Metabolic Tendency
Constitutional tendency to fat or sebum accumulation — lipomas and sebaceous cysts
Hormonal Influence
Fibroadenomas respond to oestrogen — more common in reproductive years and growing during pregnancy
Connective Tissue Tendency
Ganglion cysts from joint capsule or tendon sheath weakness — often after repetitive joint use
Blocked Glands
Blocked sebaceous glands from keratin accumulation — forming sebaceous cysts
Genetic Factors
Multiple lipomatosis — familial tendency to develop multiple lipomas

Frequently Asked Questions

Can homeopathy dissolve a lipoma?
+
Constitutional homoeopathic treatment may be considered for small, stable lipomas that have been assessed by a doctor. Any lump that is growing, painful, hard or fixed needs medical evaluation first.
Do I need a biopsy first?
+
Any new lump should be properly evaluated before treatment begins — clinical examination plus ultrasound and FNAC where indicated. Once benign nature is confirmed, homoeopathic treatment can proceed safely. Dr. Meenakshi advises appropriate investigation at consultation.
Can it treat breast fibroadenoma?
+
Yes — fibroadenoma in young women responds well to constitutional treatment. Regular ultrasound monitoring every 6 months confirms response. Treatment duration and response are highly individual and are reviewed honestly at each follow-up.
Will the lump come back after homeopathic treatment?
+
Because constitutional treatment addresses the underlying metabolic or constitutional tendency that caused the lump, recurrence rates after homoeopathic resolution are lower than after surgical excision alone.
