In the last 2 years i have had a Lipoma on the top of my head removed and it came back, removed again and it came back again. It seems to stay gone a few months and then return. Im wondering if i keep getting it removed, will it inevitably always come back? Another question, after having it removed, i swear i still felt there was about a bit in there, about 10% of the original size. So if the doctor missed some, is that why its not staying gone?
