Hey guys,
I have a lipoma in my side, between my ribcage and the skin. I had it checked by my family doctor a 4 years ago and he said I shouldn't worry about it.
It has grown over time and it has started to bother me when I lay on it while sleeping. What type of doctor should I go and see to have it removed? My dad had one under his scalp years ago and a traumatologist removed it. I don't know if I should go to a traumatologist, like my dad did, or to a dermatologist, or directly to a surgical specialist.
Thanks.
