I AM A 69 YO FEMALE WITH COPD DIABETES AND
Question: I AM A 69 YO FEMALE WITH COPD DIABETES AND ARTHRITIS, ALSO PTSD WITH DEPRESSION. IN 2019 I REMEBER FALLINGIN MY KITCHEN BRUISING MY ARM THEN THE BACK OF MY HEAD HITTHE METAL PART OF THE DISHWASHER; SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I DISCOVER A RIDGE AT THE BASE OF MY SKULL.
Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to " Ask a Doctor" service.
I have read your query and here is my advice.
Don't worry about the ridge on your skull several months after the trauma.
It may be due to local inflammation, a sort of scar tissue under the skin, or on the skull bone.
Since you had no neurological symptoms., we can say that it was not serious head trauma.
I hope this helps.
Feel free to ask if you have further questions.
