Hi...I do not think the indentation along the middle of his head is the reason for this headache. The indentation should have been there since birth and need not be worried about. But I consider this headache to be a stress related one or a migraine. Unless he has other associated symptoms like vomiting, loss of consciousness or seizures, uprolling of eye balls or pupillary disturbances you need not worry about headache.
