Detailed Answer:
HiXXXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
It is important to consult a neurologist and get examined for the possible underlying conditions. A depression in the scalp is usually benign in most cases. Unless evaluated in detail, it remains a bit of a concern because its difficult to exactly point out the condition without imaging investigations.
An underlying active bone destruction cannot be ruled out because you say that the depression is getting longer with time. It is important that the lengthening of the depression be investigated in detail after getting examined by the neurologist. It might require a CT scan head to study the underlying skull bone and pick up any worrisome conditions which can be happening at the area depression.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
