I had a bump on top of my head for about four yes.doc said fatty tissue. past two yr i develop two more on my head. i'm not sure about fatty tissue?

Lipoma : They are probably lipomas which are benign fatty collections under the skin. A surgeon can remove them and send them for biopsy to know what they are for sure.
