I had a lipoma removed and my head is still very sensitive to touch. What could be happening?

Pain and sensitivity usually resolves after surgery. I would discuss the symptoms with your surgeon to see if there are any concomitant problems. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Thank you for sharing your question.  Without photographs it is difficult to offer definite advice as you may be experiencing the normal recovery process after surgery, especially if you only recently had the procedure done.  I would recommend reaching out to your surgeon and voicing your concerns, they are in the best position to supply information and reassurance.

How long ago was the lipoma on your head removed?  It would not be unusual to have some sensitivity to the area for a few weeks or even a bit longer after the procedure.  Normally, this should be improving over time though.  If the area is getting more swollen, red or tender, you should see the surgeon who removed your lipoma.
