Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My girlfriend noticed a soft spot on the back side of my head where my pony tail usually goes and now her whole family is convinced that when I was little my soft spot never closed. I was reading on line that some of the symptoms are chronic headaches and such. I do get headaches but I thought they were from my pony tail. Should I be concerned?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Most often it might be a lymph node or some dent in the skull. If you don’t have any symptoms, you can very well neglect it. You can consult a physician for reassurance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
