How Can Hard Bumps On The Scalp Be Treated?

I have an have had these hard bumps on my head under my scalp for years. They don t hurt unless you put pressure on them, but they grow and more have popped up over time. Around the same time the first of these lumps appeared, I also started having seizure like episodes, but nothing popped up on tests drs ran. I ve also recently noticed my lymph nodes will randomly swell without any clear reason. Im now 18 weeks pregnant and the fatigue I felt before obviously has worsened. My husband is scared it could be serious.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having multiple Lipomas, my treatment advice is -

1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a Clindamycin lotion once daily to avoid infection.
3. Only curative treatment is excision under local anesthesia done by a dermato-surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
