I started seeing a small lump on my forehead since last one year but it is slowly increasing in size and I don't feel any pain in it. When I showed it to the doctor he said that it will remain like this otherwise I should get surgery done.

Dear Nikki ji,

A painless lump on the forehead that’s slowly increasing in size over the past year may be a sebaceous cyst, lipoma, or other benign growth. Since it’s growing, surgical removal is usually the recommended option.

Understanding Forehead Lump

• Lipoma – soft, fatty tissue growth under the skin

• Sebaceous cyst – fluid or keratin-filled sac caused by blocked gland

• These are usually harmless but can increase in size and cause cosmetic concerns

Why Surgery is Suggested

• Lump is increasing in size

• Can become hard, infected, or prominent over time

• Surgical removal is a minor daycare procedure — often done under local anaesthesia

• Just a 30-minute scarless procedure, performed by expert surgeons

• No overnight stay required and quick recovery

Is Lipoma Treatment Covered Under Ayushman Bharat?

• Yes, if advised medically, removal may be covered under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY)

• You’ll need to visit a PM-JAY empanelled hospital in Jaipur

• The hospital will file a pre-authorization request before surgery
