Can a regular doctor remove a fatty tumor cyst or do i need to see a specialist?

It depends on...: ...The size and location of the lipoma (pronounced lie-poh-ma) and the comfort level of your primary care doctor. I suggest that you ask your primary--they will assess and decide the best course to take.
