Is the lipoma on the side of my head supposed to feel hard? (Photo)

clarissa19
Hey, I am 19 year old and I went to the hospital because I felt a soft knot in my head and they did a CT scan and they said it was a lipoma on the right side of my head, and then said I need to get it removed so now I’m waiting for the surgeon to call me. But now my lipoma is getting hard and it’s very painful is that normal? And getting big too, thank u so much!
