Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Osteoma needs surgical excision. It is not a major and your skill will not be cut open. Surgery is indicated only if you have symptoms like severe pain or the osteomas causes cosmetic problems to you. It is a simple procedure and nothing to worry about it. Consult a neurosurgeon and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
