Posted under Lipoma Removal q&a

I Have a Lump on the Back of my Head. Could it Be Something Other Than Lipoma?

Whim
I went to the doctor and she said it was lipoma but I did research and it says lipoma is soft and it there is no real discomfort. Also it said you can move it under the skin but mine hurts its hard and you can't move it. Also there is a smaller bump like 2 inches underneath. What do you think it is?
