What Causes Tender Indentation On The Head?

I recently shaved my head and discoverd a half dollar size dent on the top right of my head, I have never had this dent and have photographic evidence that I didn t have it growing up. There is no pain or tenderness at the indentation site, I also have no history of head sever head trauma.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a reactive lymph nodule.

The symptoms usually go away on its own.

If the indentation continues I suggest an x-ray of the head for further evaluation.

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

Regards,
