I also have a soft indention on top back of head about 1 inch across I also get occasional headaches. and when I bend over my face feels like pressure is building up had it for about 3 years any ideas?
Hey Lynn, I,myself have a huge dent at the back of my head ever since I was a few months old, my mom told my cousin to babysit me while she cook and my cousin put me on a sitting position on a very high table and I fell and hit my head very hard on the concrete and I wouldn't stop crying, my head was swollen and I guess that's how I got the dent . I am now 28 years old and I am fine I would usually have migraine headache on a regular basis but now it seems fine. All I can advise you to do is eat healthy ,don't take stress and pray to ALMIGHTY God and everything will be fine ok take care all the best
Hi I have indentations in my skull. English is not my first lenguaje, so I hope I can write properly the things I want to say. I am 36. I noticed them a few days ago. I was terrified, I thought my head was opening haha! So I asked to my father who is a surgeon . He told me that he has indentations too. And so his mother. It's weird. And they never felt nothing, no migrain, nothing. He doesn't know about the name of this condition , but it's real and it's not dangerous.
Wow, this forum is so interesting to me! I was training a client and felt an itch on my head not thinking of it, then felt a long narrow indent as if the cracks in my skull were divided and swollen. After feeling it, it started burning.. so naturally I looked it up to validate my crazy and found this. The vit d / calcium deficiency sounds interesting. Im going to add to this forum and say Im supposed to start my menstrual cycle today/tomorrow and that Im 31. Most have posted and said theyve been in their 30s or on a special diet. Missing nutrients may go hand in hand! Ill add some d and calcium and see if it helps, otherwise Ill go to the doc. Ill save this forum and home you have found some answers Lynn!
I know you wrote your post awhile ago but just wanted to pipe in and say great idea....I would be happy to set up a facebook page if anyone else is interested. We could post descriptions and what we have tried to help the situation. Because I have no medical experience I wouldn't really know where to start. Although in saying that I am studying psychology so am learning to read and interpret research reports. Ill check in again soon to see if there is any interest in this.
Omg this is exactly what I have been experiencing n thought I was going crazy. I have noticed it two time periods the first I thought my boyfriend had just elbowed me in his sleep. This time I feel the indent. I have been eating low carb and high protein n do have autoimmune stuff so vitamin deficiency makes sense too. I am also having a lot of neurological symptoms too (brain fog, balance, fatigue). This is so scary.
Hi Lmac42,
I would like to know how you are feeling now. Is the dent still there? What prescription did you had that helped you? Would like to know. Thanks.
I just found the ridge last night. I also wear glasses on my head. I have worn them like this for years. Yikes! I have been having people feel it all day. Hard to believe that glasses cause this!
I just noticed I had this same issue tonight on my way home from work. I've never noticed it before in my 40 years. I've been suffering from severe tiredness and forgetfulness recently.. As well as making irrational decisions which isn't like me. I do wear my sunglasses on top of my head daily. They are almost part of my wardrobe. I'll give the suggestion to stop wearing them on top a try and plan to mention this to my physician. Very odd. Hopefully it's not medication related. I take thyroid meds and suboxone daily. Anyone else taking these meds?
I had two large dents on the top of my head and it really freaked me out. I, like others, noticed that it was close to where I wore my glasses on the top of my head. I stopped doing that and they are going away. After having them for at least a year, in a week and a half of not wearing glasses on the top of my head, they are almost gone. I would suggest that everyone with dents should think twice about wearing their glasses on their head or headphones.
Hope this helps someone.
I am so happy to have happened upon this thread purely by accident. I have had these dents for several years now and originally noticed them because of deep dark reddish purple lines in my scalp and upon feeling these discolorations found the dents. They move around and can appear and disappear rather rapidly sometimes with the discoloration; more often not. Dr.s have told me that they don't exist even though I have shown them pictures of them. I had my sister take a picture of it and her response was, What is that." It was gone the next morning. I asked her to take a picture of it and she said, "There is nothing there." I told her that that was the point. I have a suggestion, perhaps we could form a group, discovery group as it were, (since now I know I am not the only one,) and we could start formulating our own research since we are the ones who know best and maybe we could start to throw all our perceived possibilities into a common pot and perhaps discover something or interest a researcher into looking into it. I know mine exist and I trust that yours exist and I am tired of the medical profession blaming the victim for what they can't explain.
Hi Rantan, thank you so much for sharing your experience and advice. May I ask what natural therapies you tried? I'm guessing you meant things such as herbal tinctures?
TO EVERYONE & ANYONE,
I've been following this thread for awhile, today I joined medhelp so I could add my experience with the same exact thing...
I found my indent over a year ago. I had a CT scan, they did find a small "irregularity" in my skull exactly where my indent is. Oh and by the way, I don't just have an indent, to the right of it, my skull or whatever is happening there is higher like miniature speed hump.
If I press on it, even lightly, it doesn't cause pain but it does start sensations that do not feel right.
I saw a neurologist, he gave me the all clear thank goodness.
I asked, so what about the finding with my skull? At first he pretended to know what I was talking about so I sat there for a moment as he pretended to find the report he claimed to have read.
Eventually... I passed him my copy of the report. As he read it, I could tell that was his first time reading it, aye... When he got to the finding in my skull he let out a loud "OHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
He only read the CT scan, not the written report by the radiologist. Thankfully, he admitted that the skull is right out of his expertise so he couldn't help me there.
He did a full 360 in his attitude when he realized I have anxiety. My neurologist wasn't professional or compassionate. I almost walked out when he made the nasty switch, thankfully I didn't as that was before we cleared the fact that he hadn't gone over the report. I would of assumed he read that and it was all ok.
Please prepare yourself for this kind of treatment, whether or not you have anxiety. We're investigating an indent in our skull. Whether it's bone or something else, lets face it, it does sound weird and the common response will be, that you've lost your marbles. Or, who knows the outline of their skull, how are you so sure it's changed and all sorts of other rather ignorant things. Be strong guys and know you've got my full sympathy and understanding.
The second I stumbled across my indent, I jump out of my seat due to sheer shock. I went over it two more times, hoping it wasn't so. Then I asked my husband to feel the indent and his eyes went huge, it isn't just a slight change in my skull, it is a bold change. I understand it could be various things, maybe even something new that no one has begun any research in. But upon discovering it whoa! What a shock.
But oh is it rough to see professionals or even loved ones not take you seriously. So over a year on, I'm still trying to find my way. As doctors aren't listening to me so I have to keep changing doctors. Finally one is listening to me even though she doesn't know what's happening, it's a start.
I've had 2 different loads of blood tests done, all good. In fact, I'm quite healthy. So it's even more confusing. I don't have anxiety constantly, I go through phases of it.
So please don't think a neurologist is all you need. Even if they find something, your health in some way was failing, and that's the core root we need to discover, understand and heal.
I tried letting it go. Nice dream... Since discovering my indent, the following has also sprung up...
1. My long and short term memory are bad and on occasion they get worse, a few times I've experienced complete blanks, those moments are scary. Thankfully they're rare.
2. My ears still randomly hurt and make the loudest piercing sounds. Yet there's never an infection.
3. My orthostatic hypotension is constant, although my intense vertigo did go away.
4. My hands tremble sometimes. Occasionally my forefinger trembles on it's own.
5. My postures can feel awkward, sort of robotic I guess, don't know if I also look awkward. If I do, no one is mentioning anything. I wish they would... If it is so.
6. Sometimes I can't find the words I want to say or type. I say the wrong word but it's sort of similar to what I did mean to say so you still understand me even though it's incorrect. Sometimes I say something that is a mixture of actual words or worse, what I say is total nonsense.
7. I can be slow in my thinking, this is the worst part. I'm not my normal sharp self. Something I can't quite explain, dropped. Again, it's really hard to explain. What I can say is I definitely don't feel like myself. I keep waiting to snap out of it, it's not happening.
8. My ability to explain things can be terrible. Sometimes for a simple question. I have to fight just to access some part of the answer. So strange and frustrating.
9. I'm considering this also might be related to my teeth, I did have my first root canal 2 years ago and that's my earliest memory of my head throbbing as if a heart were in there.
As you can imagine, I have been keeping a much healthier lifestyle, not that I was terrible before. It helped with the headaches but I still feel many other things such as...
- Strange, random head pains (they're not headaches) that happen in various spots. The temples, few places at the back near the top, on the sides, usually one spot gets hit at a time then there be a gap and it will hit one of the other regular spots. I think... Also I feel fluid or something move around slowly but surely.
- My eyesight started getting blurry I swear it was sudden, so now I have glasses. That I need to wear often, without them I feel blind even though my lens prescription is the second lowest number. What on Earth is going on.
- The skin on my face went from great to poor.
- Often I feel a strange pull sensation on the back of my head, not where my indent is.
- If I move my hair a certain way, there's another pain that is not a headache nor like the pain I described earlier. It's in a league of it's own.
Ok... That's about it for now.
Oh I saw a chiropractor he did his magical work on me and did cause my orthostatic hypotension to totally disappear for a few days, something I thought I'd never be free of even for a second. So there's a huge pressure relief guys, so maybe check out a chiropractor if the pressure builds too high whilst you sort this out. He thinks I've hurt a ligament around my head. From everything I've heard this feels the closet to what could be apart of what is going on. Only going by my instinct that is.
I will be reporting back here when I learn more.
Good luck everyone.
Wow thank you everyone...I have been worried about the dents in my skull too! After reading everyone's comments I put my glasses on my head...where I wear them 75% of the time and lo and behold !!! the nose pieces fit exactly into the dents in my head. Thank you for bringing that possibility to my attention. Saved me from wasting my time at the Dr.'s and from having expensive and dangerous testing done.
whilst searching for possible answers I came across this article....https://www.hopkinsallchildrens.org/ACH-News/General-News/Finding-Success-with-Rare-Parry-Romberg-Syndrome?fbclid=IwAR3XComVwFdqNj5v6AkBAfCBAv6Qf2XfoUyC3HrmZlqhdKzytK8tf5zYxds
I too have a dent on my forehead, it appeared approx 8 months ago, it's oval shaped and approx 15mm wide. It's situated above my left eyebrow but more to the left, nearer to my temple. I've had my bloods checked and also vit D - all of them are in the normal range. I'm off to see my GP in a few days time as I believe it's increased in size a little bit compared to when I first noticed it. I thought a drop in estrogen might have been responsible (I'm perimenopause) but I'm not experiencing any other estrogen deficiency symptoms,so if anything it's the opposite. I've heard progesterone deficiency can cause bone loss too, which might be relevant in my situation. The only other thing I do, is clench my jaw during my sleep and I'm wondering if there is a connection as I've clenched so hard in the past that I've cracked a root filling! I promise I'll keep anyone who's interested updated - I'll report back as and when
Has anyone found the answer? I also have a dent, I didn't notice until I saw that there is also a bald patch. I'm taking seaweed for low thyroid, but I'm definitely not calcium or magnesium or phosphorous deficient.
Lynn. I too have the same thing any update?
Reading this forum has put my mind at ease & I can now avoid a lot of expensive tests. Perhaps it’s just a sign of aging. I’m a 41 year old female and have never had any head trauma, don’t suffer from headaches and my two nearly developed parallel dents in the top of my head don’t hurt. I thought I had caught some sort of skull collapsing disease but it must just be how some people age.
Does anyone have a diagnosis? Please?! I have two recent dents on top of my head--symetrical along the top of my head. No pain, but I am beginning to get headaches feel light headed and am terrified. Just went to the doctor and will be getting blood work tomorrow but I'm worried to see no diagnosis anywhere here!
Has anyone gotten any other answers possibly? I don’t know if I should be worried. I didn’t realize how long this post has been. I got a decent size dent at the top/crown area in my skull. I have never gotten this checked out. Should I be worried?
Hi Lynn. I have my indentation in the same place as yours. How is it exactly 10 years on since your post.
Have just noticed the same dent soft spot and worried, after reading posts I realized that I where my hair up every day with a clip in the exact spot an some times often I fall asleep with it still in??
I believe that there is something going on that this is affecting so many. I have to ask the question "why is it that so many people are affected, yet doctors don't know anything about it?" I remember when I was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I suffered with it for years before the diagnosis. The ONLY reason my doctor even knew what it was is because he was officially told about it at a conference he attended. Before that many doctors told us it was all in our heads. Now it actually have a name. I believe studies are being done of this very subject as it is now mushrooming. All of a sudden thousands of people are getting this dent in their heads without injuries. Keep a stiff upper lip. In the meantime, ask for blood tests check in abnormal levels of aluminum and barium. Those are the chemicals that have been reported being dropped in the form of chemtrails.
