Had Hard Lump In Eyebrow, Scalp And Ears, Removed. Are They Malignant?

I recently had a hard lump, approximately a cm in diameter and several milimeters in height removed from over my eyebrow. I have several more (3-4) of these concentrated on my upper right scalp between the top of my head and my ear. I've been told that all are lipomas, but they are hard, not soft. Should I seek to have the others removed and should I be concerned that this may be malignant?

Hi,
Thanks for contacting Health Care Magic
As you have multiple hard lump in your scalp, for this I personally suggest first go through the exact diagnosis by some investigation
1. Ultrasonography with color Doppler of these lumps.
2. FNAC of these lump if not reach the exact diagnosis then
3. Excision biopsy.
You have history of removal of the one lump, what is the diagnosis of that lump.

If you have any doubt I will be available for your query.
I find this answer helpful
