Hello mam, I am 52 YO female with surgically removed gall bladder and uterus simultaneously 4 years back. I have 13 big lipomas on my head on my scalp since last 23 years. I had thick hair so the lipomas were not visible to other people but now my hair have fallen with age and hair have stopped growing on and around lipomas so now the lipomas are being visible and new small lipomas are also growing all over the scalp, further reducing my hair growth. 23 years back when first showed the first lipoma to two doctors, they told that these are incurable and harmless and if surgical removed, they will grow again so leave it like that. That time I didn't know that there will be these many lipomas in my head in future. Please suggest what's the treatment for removal of so many scalp lipomas. Thanks

Ans: Lipoma are fat laiden mass. This happens if your fat metabolism is varied and there is disturbance in its distribution in the body. This could be the Constituition you are born with. Adding to this, you have no gall bladder whose function helps in the digestion of fat.
Lipomas in your case are multiple. We can it resect all of them. Few tips, to prevent further formations aee
Avoid fatty food,Have dinner by 6 pm, Exercise to burn out calories, connect with the warm with your warmth and engage more with people in person rather than in virtual

Health

Hello Dr...Good Day! I like to have your medical suggestion about the treatment of multiple lipomas on my body. Once I got it removed some ten years ago. And from then, I noticed that the lipomas got multiplicated. Would it had been better if I did not gotten the first lipoma removed? Also, kindly let me know the most safer options of limiting the lipomas in terms of their growth, size and number too. Thanks

Ans: Lipoma usually repears after certain period of time. It will be better to get the lipid profile done and have a physical consultation done.
There is limited evidence to suggest removal of lipoma has long term benefit.

Sir my son has secured cse cyber in vit vellore at cat 5 and he has got a rank of 20k in comedk and 28k rank in kcet which college is a better option for cse or ece in bangalore better than vit vellore?

Ans: Shiva Sir, Choosing colleges in Bangalore offers much better financial value and return on investment compared to paying around Rs. 5 lakhs per year at VIT Vellore for Category 5 CSE.

With your son’s COMEDK rank of 20,000 and KCET rank of 28,000, he can get good tech branches in well-known Bangalore colleges that provide strong local software industry exposure.

Through COMEDK, he can get Core CSE or specialized tech courses at Dayananda Sagar Academy of Technology & Management (DSATM), CMR Institute of Technology (CMRIT), BNM Institute of Technology (BNMIT), and Acharya Institute. For example, cybersecurity at DSATM closes near 20k, and ECE at CMRIT closes near 22k.

Through KCET, his 28k rank can secure Core Computer Science or AI branches at REVA University or Alliance University. Top institutes like Nitte Meenakshi offer good electronics courses.

These Bangalore colleges offer average placements of Rs. 6.5–8 LPA at a much lower cost than VIT’s Category 5 fee. Fill in the maximum number of choices of colleges and branches beginning with your son preferences both in KCET & also in COMEDK counselling. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Got admission for pg mtec at vit vellore in embedded system. Preferring vlsi but no chance and hence decided to study embedded. Is it good for placement?

Ans: Vellore Institute of Technology’s M.Tech in Embedded Systems is a solid choice, especially if VLSI didn’t work out. VIT Vellore has strong industry connections, and recent placements show opportunities in embedded software, firmware, automotive electronics, IoT, verification, and semiconductor-related roles. However, success in embedded placements depends more on skills than just the branch. Recruiters typically look for strong C/C++ programming; knowledge of microcontrollers, RTOS, embedded Linux, ARM architecture, and digital electronics; communication protocols like CAN, SPI, and I2C; and basic VLSI and Verilog knowledge, along with relevant projects and internships. Placement trends for VIT’s M.Tech Embedded in the last few years has been decent but generally below top VLSI roles, with many students also moving into software or IT roles. Core embedded and VLSI companies recruit selectively, so it’s important to build a semiconductor-focused profile. Accepting VIT Vellore for Embedded Systems is a good step, and during the M.Tech, focusing on VLSI verification, SystemVerilog, FPGA, and Linux driver development will improve chances with semiconductor firms. This can lead to strong placements, but it’s essential to back the degree with practical skills and experience. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

My son got IT in VIT Vellore and scored 200 in BITSAT which we hope to get some core branch like mech, civil or chemical. Pl suggest which option is better

Ans: It’s best to choose the branch your son is truly interested in, as that will keep him motivated and engaged. If civil or chemical engineering isn’t his preference, focusing on branches he’s passionate about will lead to a better experience. Admission to BITS is a great opportunity, and aligning it with his interests will make it even more rewarding. If he gets into BITS-Mechanical, it can be considered/preferred. As far as considering civil/chemical branches are concerned, it depends upon his interests. Else, he can go for VIT-V-IT. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
