Huge Scar Below Neck Due To Removal Of Lipoma, Lump Forming Under The Scar. Detected Scar Tissue. Right Diagnosis Or Recurred Lipoma?
Hi, I have a question, I had a lipoma removed last year on my back just below the neck, huge scar now, but under that scar there is a lump starting to form, doctor says is is scar tissue, my scar is about 2/12 long and this lump is just below it. Could it be that just maybe the lipoma has returned or doctor correct in saying it is scar tissue?
