Asked By:Jasonboyd in Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m 6’1 172 lbs, slim build. I had this roll on the lower part of my skull for about 3 years. I don’t know if it’s fat or excess skin. I was wondering am I able to get rid of it through exercise? Or would I have to get some sort of medical procedure done? Also does poor posture affect it in any way. Thank you
