What Causes Prominent Ridge Over The Left Ear?

My sons skull seems to have a more prominent ridge over his right ear than the left (if you were to touch his ear at the top to his skull...just above that). It almost looks like an egg but it seems like part of the structure of his skull. I have noticed it for awhile but it seems a little more prominent now than before. He does not have a misshapen head in any other way and it feels like its symmetrical with the other side except its a little larger on that side. Should I be concerned?

as long as there is no symptoms or signs of brain and cognitive dysfunction then there is no need to worry at all..this could be just normal skull shape and nothing to worry.
