Can A Dent On Forehead Be Cause Of Concern ?

Hi there, I ve found that I have a dent that goes from the top of my forehead, around the left side on the skull to just above the ear, I d say it s around 3 inches long and a couple mm width. Its not painful or anything. Should this be a cause for concern? Thanks!

Hello,

Since there are no symptoms, I think that dent is not an emergency problem.

However, it should be seen by a Doctor in order to get a more accurate answer for it.

The Doctor may also order imaging tests in order to evaluate you properly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
