Thanks for your question.Numbness and soreness can last for several months after any type of surgery. In my experience feet can take an especially long time to recover. There are a variety of factors for this. Increased fluid pressure on the tissue, constant stretching and irritation of the tissue with walking or standing. I recommend massaging the scar and area of excision daily with a good moisturizer. This can help with swelling, soreness and smoothing the scar. As far as the numbness is concerned, it usually improves with time but may take a few more months. Follow up with your surgeon if it's not improving.Best wishes.
Having a lipoma removed on your forehead should have no impact on the effectiveness of using minoxidil and/or finasteride for male pattern baldness.
Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia....
That is a location where not only would you be more comfortable, but depending on the exact location there is a small nerve that traverses the area. The surgeon would appreciate a still patient to dissect out the nerve.
