Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, yesterday I felt a cavity on my head, more exact on skull, just above the hairline. It s about two fingers long and half of finger wide. Can you please tell me what caused it or how could this happen. I do have more headaches lately, but I assumed it was related to stress and too much staring in computer. Thank you for your answer. Nina
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Have u been operated on the skull ever?
A cavity is unlikely to appear.
Please proceed for a CT brain if u have a chronic headache and also an indentation over skull (as u say).
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
