What Does A Dent On The Top Of The Skull Indicate?
Question: I just hit the top of my head and now have a small dent in my skull on the top of my head. Should I have this checked out right away.
Brief Answer:
No need to worry more than necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
If you don't feel any other symptoms such headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and if you didn't loose consciousness after hitting the head, I don't think you should be worried more than necessary.
In such case isn't necessary to get checked by a Doctor right away.
You should get a medical evaluation only if you will experience any of those above-mentioned symptoms or other symptoms such as difficulties with speech, vision, lethargy, etc.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
