What Do Vertical Lines On The Forehead Indicate?

Hello, My dad got 2 vertical lines on his forehead and head which makes me feel worry. It happened gradually over a year. He is 70 and he also starts forgetting things even words. It s not that serious but because we had relatives (my dad s uncle) who got alzimer , I don t want the same happen to my dad and try to prevent it as much as possible. Can you please advise me on this? I can attach a photo but couldn t find the place to attach it.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. It might be an early sign of dementia or Alzheimer’s. He has to get an MRI scan for further assessment.

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

Take care
