What Does An Indentation On Head Indicate?

Just a about a week ago I had notice I had a small scab on my head and that s when I notice an indent on the top middle of my head. It wasn t itchy, sore or soft when touched. I told a couple of co-workers and they look at me like I m crazy. I didn t hit my head or was born with this. I never had this before. It s like you run you fingers across your head and then there is a dip and back up again. Don t know why. Does anyone know? Cancel this is there is a charge. Didn t see it a charge when sent my question.

Hello!

Thank you for your question on HCM!
I appreciate your concern.
Indentations on the head may be caused by bone or meninges ( brain layers) disorders. The cause may be inflammatory, a tumor or vitamine D insufficiency and low plasma levels of calcium.
I would recommend to consult with your GP, have a physical examination and make some tests: a blood analysis for inflammation, vitamin D and calcium plasma levels, and a head xray. A brain CT scan may be necessary to establish the diagnosis.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings!
