I have a 4year old daughter whit an indent in the back right side of her head. It dose not cause her pain and she has not shown sins of any change in her. We where told it was a soft spot, how ever it was not always their. I want to know if this could hurt her or effect her in the long run.

Hi...usually if the kid is developing normally and otherwise normal without any neurological problems till now - you need not worry. Unless the indentation is causing her discomfort or disturbing her daily play and activity - you need not worry.
