I've been noticing a lot of that white powder-like stuff on my hair lately, and my hair fall seems to be getting worse too. I can't help but wonder what these symptoms could mean. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on here?

I've had this lump for about a year now. It kind of popped up out of nowhere, and at first, it didn't hurt at all, so I just thought it might be a wart or something and ignored it. But lately, I've been noticing some pain when I press around the area. I spend a lot of time at my desk for work, and I'm wondering if it might be related to that. It's not a boil; it feels more like some kind of skin growth. Could it be connected to sitting for long periods, or should I be worried about something else?

It is important to have this lump evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause. The sudden development of a painless lump that has now become painful could indicate various possibilities, including an abscess, cyst, lipoma, or even a more serious condition like a tumor. It is unlikely to be directly related to your desk job unless there is a specific injury or pressure point causing the issue.
