Dent on top of head
So recently I’ve noticed I have - I suppose a dent - at the top of my skull, about where a baby’s soft spot is. If I press on it, it is a bit tender but really only about a 1 on pain scale if anything at all. Perhaps I’ve noticed before but ignored, I am unsure. I don’t know if it’s been there since childhood or it developed over time - but I don’t think something like that just happens, it should require a head trauma but I have not had anything other than normal head bumps.
Dear
The dent on top of your skull bone may be anything from a nonfused plate since childhood to recent subcutaneous erosion of bone of unknown reason.
You need to get it evaluated through a xray of the skull first, if inconclusive then a CT Scan of the skull would surely help along with consultation with your GP.
