What Causes Pain In The Forehead?
My son, age 10, has started complaining about his forehead hurting. I felt it and there seems to be a vertical dent starting at his hairline, going down to above his nose. I asked if it only hurts when he touches it and he said no, he can feel it when he talks.

Hello
It is common in this age group. It can be due to weakness of eyesight, which is causing pain in the eyes and hence in the forehead. Also, it can be due to frontal sinusitis. Go for refractive error checking to the optometrist and do a x-ray paranasal sinuses.
