Dent on top of head
So recently I’ve noticed I have - I suppose a dent - at the top of my skull, about where a baby’s soft spot is. If I press on it, it is a bit tender but really only about a 1 on pain scale if anything at all. Perhaps I’ve noticed before but ignored, I am unsure. I don’t know if it’s been there since childhood or it developed over time - but I don’t think something like that just happens, it should require a head trauma but I have not had anything other than normal head bumps.

Dear
The dent on top of your skull bone may be anything from a nonfused plate since childhood to recent subcutaneous erosion of bone of unknown reason.
You need to get it evaluated through a xray of the skull first, if inconclusive then a CT Scan of the skull would surely help along with consultation with your GP.

It is likely to not be significant, but if it causes anxiety, you can visit the nearest ER and have it evaluated physically and undergo investigation such as X-Ray, CT/MRI(if indicated)
