What Causes A Soft Section Within The Scalp?
Yes, I was curious about a soft section within my scalp, that started right before having an abcested wisdom tooth removed from the bottom right. The section has at formed at the top of my head directly above where the tooth had once existed I have often wondered if the soft spot and odd sensation have something to do with maybe a shift in my jawbone perhaps

Hello,
A soft spot in the skull may be related to the enlarged lymph nodes by a nearby infection (including dental infection) but also may indicate bone lytic lesions.
In order to get a correct answer is necessary to get evaluated medically by your Doctor and as initial examination an x-rays of the skull. Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
