What Causes An Indentation In The Forehead?

Hello, I have always had a huge indent in the top of my head, what is commonly known as a double crown and used to tease my Mom and ask her if she dropped me on my head when I was a baby! I am now 45 years old, relatively healthy, drink in moderation, gave up smoking about 12 years ago, follow a healthy diet and take a multi vitamin. I have recently experienced the first signs of menopause, with terrible hot flushes and am taking a supplement which has helped tremendously. I always wear my sunglasses on the top of my head, and about a year ago noticed that I had another indentation at the top of my forhead where my glasses rest, it felt quite soft if I pushed it gently and felt quite vulnerable. I told my Mom who looked at me like I was crazy and suggested I just keep an eye on it . I had recently forgotten about it until this morning when I woke up and to my horror when I looked in the mirror saw an indendation like someone has put their thumb in and pushed, right in the middle of my forhead! Do I need to rush off to a specialist or is this just something that can be handled by me? Some good advice would REALLY be appreciated as I feel a little bit worried right now. Thank you.

Hello,

These changes in the skull could be related to the remodelation of the skull bones, which is a normal process.

Nevertheless, I would recommend checking vitamin D and calcium plasma levels for possible deficiency.

A brain CT scan would help examine better your skull and brain.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
