Brief Answer:
cranial computed tomography
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Since you have not got dents in your head since birth and they appeared 2 months ago and are getting bigger i would recommend a cranial computed tomography (CT) scan in your case.
It uses x-rays to create pictures of the head, including the skull, brain, eye sockets, and sinuses.
Dents in head can be due to brain tumor, brain infection, buildup of fluid inside the skull and injury to the head.
