What Causes Deep Indentations On The Skull?

Firstly, I am a 23 year old young woman and I am very nervous. I recently went for the big chop and shaved my head due to a rightful cause. Upon shaving my hair we noticed an irregular mishaping of my skull. There are dents and “soft spots” so deep and large it has caused and irregualr point shape to the top of my skull. I am very worried and concerned about this. I even chose to wear a wig because of the severity of my sunken in skull. Is there anyone who can help my diagnose what might be the cause of my irregular shaped skull ?? Please and thank you.

Hi,



Mild irregularities over skull may be normally present.

Some diseases may cause destruction of skull bones and cause indentation and softness. Get examined by a neurosurgeon.
