Why Do I Have A Dent On The Top Of My Head?

I have noticed a dent on the top of my head toward the front. what is causing this? It seems to not be as noticeable on some days and very noticeable on others. Looks like I will have to do this some other time as my washer broke and that is where my money is going for now but thanks.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much fr this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this dent. If it is more noticeable on other days than others, then it is probably not cause by a bony deformation that would otherwise cause a constant dent. This leaves us with th soft tisssue and ore likely to be muscles as this is what we manipulate daily and can cause daily changes. I will suggest that you get this looked into by a doctor to pinpoint the exact cause and make sure it is nothing too worrisome that we have to address early. A general physician would be a good doctor to start with in this regard.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
Thanks.
