Self Surgery: Tell me - Do you feel lucky??

A surgeon who operates on himself has poor judgment at best and looking for a complication. A non-surgeon considering this (removal of a lipoma) is down right crazy with a potential death wish. Why would you even consider this when it is a safe procedure when done in expert hands? Remember an lawyer who represents himself in court has a fool for his attorney.This is way beyond this logic.

Lipoma on scalp

It is absolutely not possible for you to remove a lipoma from your own scalp. If you do want it removed (and know for sure that it is a lipoma), then you need to see an experienced surgeon.
