What Caused An Indentation On The Right Side Of My Head?

I have a indentation on the right side of my head 3 inches above my ear and one inch forward. The indent is about 3 inches long and has a slight down slant. I just noticed it last night. I have a diagnosis of chronic headaches and could this of caused them? What could the slant do and could it be harmful?

Hello,

There are some conditions to consider in case of recent indentation on the head.

Besides trauma, Gorham's disease, Paget's disease, etc. should be considered.

Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
