Where to Go to Remove Infected Lipoma?

sylvia orlando
I have a lipoma in my head. A friend of mine told me that she had one and she poked it with a needle. I got a sterilized needle and I poked it but it got infected. Now the lump is hard and hurts. What type of doctor should I go to and what can I expect after I see the doctor? Will they remove it in office?
