What could be the reasons for getting white hair on my head? I've noticed a few strands turning white recently, and I'm a bit concerned. Is it something related to age or can other factors like stress or diet cause this? Would love to know what might be going on.

I've had a red fluid-filled cyst on my scalp for 7 years with no pain should I be worried about it and does it need surgery will they have to shave my hair for the procedure I'm really concerned

A red, fluid-filled cyst on the scalp that has been present for 7 years and is painless is likely a benign pilar cyst. While most cysts don't require treatment, it's still best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and to discuss if removal is recommended. Surgery is a common treatment for these cysts, but it doesn't always require shaving the hair
