Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

The problem you have described is a minor one, and there is no need to worry about it.

Abnormal shape of skull or unbalanced scalp would not lead to any problem, whatsoever at this stage.

The fact, that your CT scan and X rays are normal, is also reassuring.

For pain relief, analgesics such as ibuprofen may be useful.

Wishing you good health,
