Scalp folds on the back of my head

2021-11-27 13:47:38
I have a scalp fold at the back of my head. (Refer attached photo) I've had this since school but I'm just noticing this now after getting a short haircut. There is no pain or any irritation. What is the reason for getting this scalp fold? Is this common? Are there any remedies I should follow?

Certain people have this ..that won't be noticed due to hair.. nothing to worry or panic.. if you really feeling discomfort with that meet a cosmetologist once for further advice.

It is only redundant skin. Will not have any symptoms. No need to worry about it. If u feel it is cosmetically unappealing it can be surgically remove although the surgery will leave a straight-line scar
