What Causes Pain Around A Divot On The Skull?
I have a divot on top of my head about 1 inch back form my hair line. I have had it for about 2 weeks, it is just now starting to hurt. I have had several headaches in that generalized area that seem to radiate downward from the divot. Additionally, I have had vision issues in which rooms do not seem as bright as they could be and it seems cloudy at the edge of my vision. Night driving has become more difficult.
