Small Dent Formed During Forceps Delivery Getting Wider With Age. Is It Normal?

Hello I have an odd question. When I was born they had to use forceps to deliver me which left a small dent above my right eye in my hairline in the skull.I've always played with it and it was very thin.within the last 6 months or so...I realize it had gotten very wide I don't know how long it took to get that way yes I stopped playing with it in my teens. I'm not 50 and concern at the difference. It doesn't cause me any other problems I just wondered if this is a normal aging thing.

Hi. The mark of forceps at this stage with no other symptoms now and over the years will not harm you. It simply has got widened with age, loosening of skin and reduced muscle tone. However, you still can consult a skin specialist regarding this and see if any changes occuring.
Thanks.
