What To Do For Lipomas On The Head?

I have two lipomas on my head. They have started to get sore and sometimes itchy around the sites. One has started oozing yellow, and upon waking will look like a yellow frozen spike sticking out of my hair. is this something I should see my doctor for?

I think if Lipoma is getting infection, it is better to get them removed. I mean you meet surgeon and get advice. If he thinks there is pus inside Lipoma or its fat is going liquefaction, then removal is better than keep it.
