Wen on hand, treatment

Lipoma does not pose a threat to humans, since it refers to benign tumors. Official medicine treats lipomas by introducing a special drug into the neoplasm to dissolve it and by surgical intervention under general and local anesthesia. The first method is preferable in the case when the wen on a hand is small (up to 3 cm). It injects the medicine with a thin needle. The effectiveness of this method of treatment is 80%, and the result will be visible only after a couple of months. If the size of the tumor is large, the patient is prescribed a surgical procedure. Removal of a small lump is done under local anesthesia, and a large one under general anesthesia, after which the patient remains in the hospital for 2 more days. Postoperative follow-up lasts 2 weeks.

Folk ways

Wand on hand is often cured by folk remedies:

• Chicken Compress. Films from domestic eggs are superimposed on the lipoma, after which redness and swelling may appear. Films are required to be changed several times until the desired effect is achieved.
• Golden mustache is an effective remedy. The fresh leaf of the golden mustache is cut, kneaded and placed on the wen, covered with polyethylene film and cotton cloth, folded in two, and then fastened with a band-aid or bandage. After 12 hours a new sheet is used. The entire course of treatment is about 12 days.
• Cinnamon is a reliable remedy against zhirovikov. Treatment is continued until complete healing. Every day you need to eat 1.5 tablespoons of cinnamon (in small portions throughout the day).
• Balsam "Asterisk" can also help. Sometimes the grease on the hand is cured if it is lubricated with this remedy until the lipoma opens. After that, careful pressing should delete the contents, but not immediately, but for three days. On the face to squeeze out neoplasms it is impossible in any case.
