How Can I Get Rid Of This Scalp Roll On The Back Of My Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have this scalp roll in the back of head. What should I do about this fat? What is the solution?

A:These scalp roll at the upper back of your neck to which you refer is not just fat alone. Scalp rolls are composed of excess skin, fat, and muscle of which fat makes the least contribution to it. Such scalp rolls are treated by excision which can be very effective albeit leaving a fine line scar as the aesthetic trade-off for its removal.
