Is it possible to cut out a lump of scar tissue?

Morgan505
I have a lump of scar tissue from surgery on my head. It's pressing against a nerve and causing a lot of pain. I've tried ice, tylenol, massage, and a procedure called radiofrequency ablation, but nothing helped. Is it possible to remove this lump surgically?
