Without an exam to feel the mass, it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis, but based on your description it is most likely a lipoma (a benign fatty tumor). The treatment is excision. The incision could be made in a natural forehead crease for optimal scar camouflage and would likely be smaller than the mass itself. Another option is to make an incision at the hairline and excise the mass from up there. Be sure you see a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon. I wish you well!
Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur underneath theskin. Most lipomas require surgical removal once they are bothersome. It isimportant to make sure that the growth is not something else before assuming itis a lipoma. There are many other subcutaneous nodules that mimic lipomas inshape and size. Surgical removal of lipomas is relatively straightforward andrequires meticulous attention to detail. The first stage in improving your condition would be toschedule a consultation to discuss your options after a complete examination ismade. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS
This is most likely a lipoma, which is a benign fatty tumor. These lesions are relatively easy to remove surgically.

You would need to be examined to try and determine what the lump on your forehead is. The most likely causes would be either a lipoma (if it is soft) or bone (if it is hard). There are surgical treatment options for either cause. I would consult with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon to be evaluated.
Lipomas do not 'burst'. You may have had a cyst and how you're left with a depression in the thigh? You can let it be or have it excised but that will leave a scar. What's better? Scar or the current depression? Only you can decided
You would need to be examined to determine the extent of any hematoma you may have after removal of a lipoma on the back of your head. If you do still have a hematoma 2 weeks after surgery, it is possible that some of the fluid could be removed by aspiration with a syringe and needle....
Not really although, in general, we advise against using any products that interfere with the blood clotting process for a period of at least three weeks before and after surgery. These include aspirin, NSAIDs, Vitamin E, gingko biloba and a wide range of products that contain them, or...
Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia....
I don't have a clear answer but multiple lipomas such as you describe are exactly that - multiple and, often, painful. That's because unlike single lipomas, which are typically made of loose, fatty tissue, the multiple form is usually denser, with more fibrous and vascular tissue and, upon...
