Could Dent Formation On Head Be A Result Of Constant Chemotherapy Treatment?
I have noticed in the last few months, dents are forming on my skull and forehead. They were not there before. I have had chemo treatments twice in my lifetime, losing my hair both times. I actually had a very smooth head. I at times have very sharp excruciating pains that only last seconds in my head. What could be the cause of the dents? Also what could cause the sharp pains?

Dents do not form on the head in adult life unless caused by strong blows to the head or trauma. Therefore, chemotherapy cannot be the cause of what you are newly noticing as a "new dent"....you should visit with a neurologist who can send you for appropriate imaging of the skull in search of another explanation.
