My DS is in his 20s & has a large Lipoma on his neck/back of head. The area it covers on his neck is from below his ear to his spine to 3/4 up his skull.
How can a GP know for sure it isn't malignant without a biopsy or ultrasound?
Is it safe to remove?
Can this op be done on the NHS?
Is it safe to leave?
Will it continue to grow?
DS is by nature happy go lucky & laid back. All he has said is that the GP says it's a Lipoma & he could have it removed. I don't want to worry him by firing 20 questions at him.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
