I got 2 lipoma bumps on my scalp. I'm losing hair where the bump is. Can my hair grow back if I remove the lipoma?

Question

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

Most lipomas on the scalp are asymptomatic.  However if the lipoma is exerting pressure it is possible there could be some hair loss.  Removal of the lipoma is typically quick and with a quick recovery.

It is difficult to say but I recommend that you have them resected. Pressure on scalp tissue may be contributing to decrease skin perfusion, contributing to local hair loss.Dr H Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
