Had a giant cell tumor removed from my left toe 6months back. It seems to be regrowing again... Is this risky or dangerous? Feel no pain. Is there something I can do to stop it from regrowing...

Yes some recur locally. If you have the histopathology report of the previous excised tumor can you post it so that I can give a better opinion. There are many methods to prevent recurrence now.
