Hi CaliGirl70,

I could be CaliGirl71 given my age and proximity :) I'm reaching out to you directly because you described perfectly two of the finger-sized dents at the back of my head (along with 1 soft spot and two additional dents). I've been in the process of pushing for my GP to investigate a probable thyroid or auto-immune disorder based on my family genetics. Despite that potential discovery I live a fairly healthy lifestyle, get moderate exercise and have a pretty good outlook on life. Anyway, leading up to my annual request for tests I discovered I had a soft spot on my head about 6 weeks ago. This one is located in the front upper right hand side, about an inch from my hairline. When I discovered it, I thought it was perhaps from my glasses which I tend to wear like a nerdy headband. I don’t think the glasses are the cause given the dent /soft spot is only on one side. I reached out to my sister who has MS to ask if she had ever heard or experienced anything like this because another forum poster indicated she gets soft spots when she is having a flare up. My sister hadn’t experienced this and suggested follow up. Luckily I already had my follow up doctor appointments on the calendar and after harassing my GP for nearly four years, finally scored a referral to an endocrinologist. Leading up to that visit, in about three week’s time, I found an additional four dents.

Fresh back from the endocrinologist visit yesterday who confirmed that the test results, lack of goiter, "what he sees in front of him" definitely is not thyroid related. My handy check list of symptoms could all be caused by other things. Truly, independently, each items isn’t earth shattering, but the combined effects of losing one’s hair, energy, sex drive and other weighs heavy on this nearly 40-year-old. He continued to share that the only test that matters is TSH and I am in the normal zone. [The reading I've been doing online strongly contradicts this.] And when I asked about the other detailed tests, my low Free T4, and shared others experiences he nodded his head no as if it was silly for me to even consider that data. All of the key medical establishments (insert pedigree establishment names here) agree that TSH is the gauge by which they judge and this is how they do it at Kaiser. "Even if I was to prescribe thyroid you probably won't notice a thing. And if you did it would be a placebo effect."

He was particularly disinterested in the indents in my head and said that we often have these things wrong with us but don't notice until later (like lopsided breasts - yes, that was his gestured example). I know I didn't have these little divots back in May when I had a tick scare after hiking with my dog. I have a new GP that I am seeing starting on Monday and I’m hopeful he’ll take the head dents seriously. He is running more Thyroid tests and cortisol excess. And plan to kick off the process with a specialized rheumatologist starting next week. If any of this ends up being related (or if they can tell) I will post here.

In the mean time, stay strong little lumpy headed friends. Looks like we have a nice little community here to exchange info and hopefully find next steps.

Well I'm 46 have recently noticed the sunglass dents about an inch back from my front hairline and I've got to tell you I wear sunglasses on the top of my head every day all summer long- Im going to leave them in the car for a while and see if I am less denty over time- This is truly the oddest internet search result I've ever come across!

I have found a dent on the back of my skull on the top as well.  There is a flat spot with a dip in it.  I had gastric bypass surgery in 99 and suffer with vit B, C, D and iron defieciencies.  If I press hard on the dip it is tender. I am a 50 year old female and have never noticed this before 2 years ago.

I just went to the doctor last week and asked about the dent in my skull and she could not explain it.  I am glad to find this post.  I am early 50's, thyroid condition since 2000 and just noticed the dent a couple of months ago and it seems to be getting longer.  I regularly take vitimans.  Has anyone gotten an straight anwer yet?

Were any of you pulled out by clasps at childbirth. They put clasps on ur head and pull u out of the canal so no c section is needed. This can cause indentations in your skull

Em6531, I a woman that takes pride in her hair...I KNOW for a fact that my dents have not ALWAYS been there. That's what doctors try to tell us, it's always been there..you're just now noticing. BULLCRAP!! How in 40 years am I just now going to notice 2 dents in the top of my head?

I have noticed, I put more fruits & Veggies in my daily diet and also stopped wearing my eye and sun glasses on the top of my head. I can't find my smaller, newest dent anymore and my larger one, I can barely feel the indention? Weird that's for sure!

sometimes doctors just dont understand do they? you no when something is not with your own body and when they wont even listen it just gets annoying. its interesting what your saying about the glasses you wouldnt think of all thing sunglasses could cause something but you never know. since you have put more friut and veg in your diet maybe there was something to fructose? which is in all fruits and veggies maybe there was a dificiancy of it or is there a vitamin that is commonly in fruit and vegies more? its great to see that youve found something to help them receade. but it would be nice if you had an answer as to why its happening.
good luck and best wishes take care and i hope you find a solution soon.

I have the same kind of dent on the crown of my head and it seems to be getting longer and deeper. I just noticed about a year ago. It seems like most of the people here are recommending vitamin D, fresh fruits and veggies.  I'm going to try that.

Symptoms:  Fontanelles sinking - bad headaches every single day for a few weeks prior to this find - and the place where I keep my ponytail is also a huge indentation.  Both locations are tender, and only appeared a month or so ago.

so I went looking online when I discovered this, and found this forum :)  took me a while to read thru all the posts, and this has made me feel better.  but I will share with you what I have been thinking.  most of us are about the same age, early 30's, and female.  there are the few exceptions.  I had to sit and wonder if there were some commonalities amongst us.  I loved the idea that possibly we were all becoming more Spiritual - the age could be right!  but I don't think it fits for everyone.  I have noted a few recurring themes here - the vitamin D and calcium issues seemed to resonate a bit for me.  

I can tell you that I know what has happened to me.  this little drink additive called Mio Liquid Enhancer by Kraft.  Nasty stuff.  I liked it when it came out - started drinking more of it, until I was doing about 4 bottles a day.  this was in a short time period of about 1-2 months.  I started feeling quite bad, lots of health things going wrong, started getting headaches every single day - nothing quite pinpointable by the dr. though - but I *knew* something was just not right.  I am a normal healthy 36y/o, aside from some food and env. allergies.  no major issues.  (and I already take calcium and vit D every day since I am allergic to dairy - my levels are frequently checked and always very good.)  but this, this was freaking me out!  then when I got the indentations at first I kinda went 'huh? those were not there last week!' - then I slowly started to evaluate what had changed, based on all the other things I was feeling but the dr. could not diagnose.  and bingo.  the one thing I had added was this Mio.  looking at the additives - guess what's in it?  Propylene Glycol.  *baddddd* stuff for you to ingest!!!!  so I eliminated it from my diet immediately - and over the next couple of weeks, all my other issues got better!  YAY!  head still not better though as far as the indentations and sensitivity to touch... so now here I am still thinking about my indentations hurting and what this could mean.  

did a quick search in the middle of the night last night, and found this one dr. talking about Osteoporosis and how you should select a calcium supplement that does not have what?  Propylene glycol!!!  my guess is that the P. glycol must actually inhibit the absorption of calcium somehow here - and that is exactly what happened to me :/  so while I stopped taking the stuff and fixed my other issues, I had already taken enough to cause some damage which might be irreversible.  I am now getting my calcium and vit D levels rechecked to verify that this is what has happened to my poor skull here :/

so what I am saying to all you - look at your deodorant!  look at your shampoos!  look at things you normally eat!  try to eliminate this stuff!  I changed my deodorant to Ban which doesn't have the stuff in it.  won't ever take Mio again (though I loved the taste) - but I am 100% sure that is what did this to me, based on everything else I just went thru.  it could be that this additive is something that everyone else on this list is sensitive to as well.  just throwing that idea out to all of you as a word of caution there...  since nobody else has an answer - maybe this one is as good as any???

good luck to all of you!!!  :)

just also wanted to add - this may not be the answer - I know - everyone reacts differently!  just a little more info for education here:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia:
"Propylene glycol, also called 1,2-propanediol or propane-1,2-diol, is an organic compound (a diol or double alcohol) with formula C3H8O2 or HO-CH2-CHOH-CH3. It is a colorless, nearly odorless, clear, viscous liquid with a faintly sweet taste, hygroscopic and miscible with water, acetone, and chloroform.
...
Final products ( ) Propylene glycol can also be converted from glycerol, a biodiesel byproduct. "

another link where ppl are asking about it as related to hair and scalp:
http://askville.amazon.com/purpose-propylene-glycol-hair/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=4641943

another link with some good info:
http://www.naturalnews.com/023138_propylene_glycol_products_natural.html

these are just a few at the TOP of the list when I search.  all good info - and this stuff really is bad...  when I was ingesting it, my internals really felt, well "clogged" - bo better word to describe it...  then my head just sunk in.  weird - yes - but maybe this is why.  ok - not 'maybe' for me - the signs just all point to the right place.

the only other thing I want to ask everyone - does anyone here take Chlor-trimeton for allergies?  just wondering :)  thanks for reading and entertaining my thought!

Thanks for sharing, I posted a comment and then it vanished. I apologize if I end up with 2 comments :)

The MIO you are referring to? is that the stuff you flavor water with? My husband bought like 6 bottles, trying to get our grandaughter to drink more water. I don't drink it often, but a few times a month. I do drink the little Koolaid drink packs you add to a bottle of water, but that's only recent. After finding my dents. Since giving up pop.

My mother and her mother were diagnosed with Osteoporosis so that has been on my mind lately. I don't drink milk and I have such a hard time swallowing pills, so I rarely take vitamins.

As I said before, since adding fruits and veggies in my diet and NOT wearing my glasses or sunglasses on my head, I can barely feel my indentions. It's hard to believe that glasses would do that...BUT, atleast 15 hrs of the day, I either had eye glasses or sunglasses on my head. I think I will look into some VitD supplements.

Female.  Age 52.  History of Thyroid Goiter that changed into Thyroid Papillary Cancer.  Have been diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency within the last year.  Take Calcium and Vitamin D supplements daily.  I rarely eat Veggies and Fruit....no special reason, just a meat and potato girl!
I noticed the depression that is much like many of you have described.  I do not wear glasses or sunglasses on my head; I do not believe that is the cause of the indention that I have.  My indention is along my center line running front to back approx. 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.  It continues to "sink". I noticed it 3 weeks ago.  I have never had a history of migraines, but do have headaches and pressure in my sinus cavities on that side of my face.  I have mild numbness on the same side as my scalp indention.
I do have good insurance, and immediately went to my family physician for a check of it.  He sent me for a CT scan without contrast, of my skull and brain.  The results came back normal.  Just like my doctors at MD Anderson tell me... "Watchful Waiting...until something presents itself."
This sounds like a great research project for someone!!!  Where are you?  I will be happy to be a study participant!

I am 22 years old. I went to the hostipal because I was having a bad headache that would not go away. I was throwing up too. I had a cat scan done and they thought it was a tumor or a blood clot. They rushed me to another hostipal to get a mri. It ended up being a indentation in my brain. They said it can get bigger and it can hemmorhage. They said surgry is in my future. I have to follow up next week with the surgen. I am so scared. My blood pressure has been high lately and my hands go numb now too. Needless to say its been a week and i still am having the headaches. I have tried a lot to get rid of the headaches if anyone has suggestions can you please email me at ***@****

I woke up this morning with a dent in the front of my forehead, about the tip of a finger size, loooks almost like a volcano crater, but much small and not as deep. I went to carrrabbas last night, and put on makeup first, so I would have seen this.  It appeared overnight, but it does not hurt.
I have used a cell phone since the early 90s but have tried to limit it.  However, they know they cause brain cancer.  This better not be that or I'll be the lead Plaintiff against Bell, Sprint and the like.
I never have believed in Aliens, but this is kinda weird so many people and over night?
Going to the doc immediately if this isn't gone in an hour or two.

I have an indentation on top of my skull as well; toward the back and in the middle. I noticed it as a teenager (about 16) and it was actually tender like a soft spot. As an adult I have had a couple of MRIs and everything about my brain and skull are absolutely normal. My neurologist said that it is common in women. I have been a sun child and lover of milk my entire life, thus no broken bones when I should have them and no vitamin D deficiency. I am now 27 and my indentation is no longer soft so all I can assume is that my soft spot didn't calcify until much later in life. I do struggle with fatigue and memory (due to inability to focus) but I discovered I have a yeast overgrowth issue so I'm hoping those symptoms will diminish with the special diet I am currently on to kill the yeast.

And to the women who have hair loss issues, maybe try some progesterone cream. I'm currently using it to combat my PCOS symptoms, one of which is hair loss, and it works for me.

That is amazing! Your head sounds exactly like mine. I have a major dent in the middle of my head starting at the top back. Between the right and left brain. Almost like my brain never closed in the middle. It's been there awhile, but not forever. In this center dent, my head is itchy and oily. Very oily. And sensitive. I don't get it. My hair texture and thickness has changed almost all over my head, with a very warm, sensitive feeling. It's crazy how much my hair has changed and how brittle it is in the middle. I have been seeing a derm for the itchiness and breakage. He once prescribed dermasmooth and ketaconozole?, which didn't work. So now I'm on loprox and lidex. Both seem to work for the inflammation and itchies/sensitivities, but only for a couple days and then it's oily and sensitive again. A treatment is nice, but i'd really like a cure or at least a diagnosis. I too have been confirmed to have low vit D, everything else came back pretty normal, except high DHEA. But I heard nothing about it after 2nd lab visit. I have also concluded I was two steps from severe dehydration. At least I'm not alone, however I'm confused.

You should ask your doctor about spinocerebellar ataxia it seems like you have the symptoms of it.I don't have it but I know a true story about it called 1 litre of tears about a Japanese girl who got it young and died at age 25.not to worry you, there are different types of it some are deadly and some not but what it is, is it deteriorates your cerebellum it's a degenerative disease.good luck to you all!

I just recently got a smart phone and I noticed my dents about a year ago.Since reading ALL the posts on here from the very beginning, I stopped wearing my eye and sun glasses on my head and take one Vit D supplement a day. I have never been a milk drinker.  I can now barely even feel my dents. I am 41 and have a lifetime history of migraines. The only thing different in the past year for me is that I now take a migraine med. I have went my whole life suffering them and just taking over the counter meds.

Drone, it makes you wonder what THEY are doing to us in our sleep lol maybe they don't like me anymore, since mine are closing...or maybe they are done with me :)

I am so relieved to have found this forum. I just noticed my dent about 3 weeks ago. I am a 53 and female. Like you I know I would have noticed this before. Mine starts closer to my forehead and seems to be 1/2 in. wide and approx 4 in. back right in the middle of my head. My first thought was my "soft" spot from birth was opening up. But the Vita-D issue makes sense to me, I also rarely drink milk and used to drink it daily. So I also believe it must have something to do with vitamin deficiencies and/or menapause onset. I haven't gone to a Dr. yet, I wasn't sure what kind to go to. For now I am going to start a vitamin regimine, drinking milk daily and more fruits and veggies since that seemed to help yours. Thanks for sharing this bizzarre story, it is kind of strange that so many of us and varied ages have this. If it is related to vitamin deficiencies that should say alot about our eating habits over the past several yrs. Thanks again!

It is so bizzare, and scary! I stressed out over this for months. My doctor had no clue and acted like it was no big deal. I'm sure I could have pushed the issue and demanded more tests other than blood work...but I didn't. A part of me really didn't want to. I thought the worse and didn't want to know. I used to rub my dents constantly, worrying about them. I noticed now, the only time I do is when I get a notification that someone posted on here. I can barely even tell where they were now.  Someone way back in the posts here mentioned something about wearing glasses on their head. I stopped doing that, someone else mentioned Vit D, I started taking that....I also started eating better. I would like to know WHY? but I do know that they are barely there so I am happy! I hope that yours close soon too. Keep us posted!

I slipped on ice back on Christmas day and got a huge bump on the top back of my head.  I am 61 years old, unemployed with no insurance so i did not go to the doctor.  Since that time I have had headaches and this morning I noticed a indend in the area that the bump was.  After reading all of the comment on this post I wonder if my indend is from the fall or something else.  
It is scary not knowing what could be going on but it is good to know that I am not the only one with this problem.   Maybe we are the chosen ones and our explanation is still to come?

Does anyone have any definite answers to this?

I JUST noticed an indent in my head moments ago.  It has NOT been there before.  It is mildly sensitive, I am not presently having a headache or any sever symptoms. It is about three inches long, about a half inch wide and about an eighth of an inch deep....it is on the right side and runs front to back.  

I will call a doctor soon, but was hoping for some peace of mind now.

Thanks!

I don't think anyone has any answers. I think doctors are baffled on why this happens. I personally changed some things in my life and I can barely feel my dents now. There has got to be a reason why this has happened to so many people.

Wow...I'm so happy I found this forum. I'm a 22 year old female and for the past year I've been experiencing a similar problem. I was born with a somewhat asymmetrical skull; the center of the back of my head is somewhat flat but very subtle. When I was younger I used to feel the back of my head so I've been fully aware of what it felt like back then and what it feels like now. About a year ago at the very top of the back of my head towards the left I began to feel a dime-sized indentation that felt sore when I applied pressure. It hurt on and off for about a month and the pain eventually went away and I forgot about it. In the beginning of the summer I got a check up and decided to ask the doctor about it and he pretty much laughed at me and said that's the way my skull was formed and that everyone's head isn't perfectly shaped. About a month ago now I felt another dime sized indentation on the right side now...and its been sore ever since. I can feel it every time I lay in my bed on my back. What the hell is wrong with me??? Hahaha. Please help...suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

This is just bizzare I have been having really bad migraines and noticed the dententations and softening about a month ago  have had CTs and Dr is baffled I will bring up the Vit D difinecy to her, they are getting worse, yes I do pop my glasses up on my head but have never noticed the dentations, have always done that with my glasses, only after I was getting headaches did I notice the dentations.
Keep posting this is very interesting

It is very bizzare. All I know is, the dents weren't always there...like the doctors think. I was so scared for months..it's all I could ever think about. I was constantly rubbing the dents, therefore, causing some soreness. I have ALWAYS wore my sunglasses and reading glasses on my head and I am 41 now. Some days I would get off work and they would be on my head until very late evening. I also have never been a milk drinker or vitamin taker. So, after not wearing my glasses on my head anymore and taking my multi vitamin and an extra Vit D, they are almost non-existent. I can feel where they were, but there is no softness. I have also, suffered migraines my whole life. But just started taking a migraine med about 2 years ago.

I've had indentations on and off for the past several years. Yesterday the right side of my head was a little sore so I started feeling around. Sure enough there was an indentation coming down from the top ending about an inch from my ear. The end was more of a dent. It has been very tender today. As I sat here reading the posts I kept feeling it to compare it to the others posted. I just went to check it again and it was totally gone. There is some tender muscle, but not as tender as a half an hour ago. Besides the dents that one gets from glasses it is possible that this is muscular (I'm a massage therapist so I'm going there.) There are several muscles that cover the skull and it's possible that they go into spasm causing some of the indents. I don't think all of the indents on this forum fit this catagory just like not all of them are caused by glasses. BTW I'm a 59 yo female and I take 5000 IU of Vit D daily and don't think that's made a difference one way or the other for me. I have been recently diagnosed with TMJ so this makes sense to me. Just checked it again and it's forming into the indentation with the divit again. That further convinces me that it's muscular in nature. That is a load off my mind since I'm headed to the Doc on Thursday. Now that's one thing I won't have to talk to him about. I would not have believed this if it hadn't have happened as I sat here.

Well it's good to know at least that I'm not alone.  I too discovered two strange little dips or ridges on top of my head, on the right side, near my part, about a year ago.

At first I thought it had something to do with the part.  But then I realized that it wasn't my part at all, but actual ridges in my scalp.  That's the only place on the scalp that I can find anything like that and I know they weren't there before.

I'm 53.  I'm not at all prone to headaches.  In fact, they're rare for me.  I do have high blood pressure, but it's well controlled with meds.  There is no pain associated with the dips or ridges.  I think they've gotten a little bigger over the past year, but not by much, and they haven't multiplied into more ridges.

I have noticed that if I poke at the area too much, I do start to feel a little weird, like may a little light-headed.  So I try not to do that.

You've reminded me that I had my physical last month and I forgot to mention them to my doctor.  They don't seem to be dangerous, but I do find them to be strange and I'm puzzled about them.

I've recently noticed an indentation right where my part is at top top of my head. I have also noticed it getting slightly bigger. It IS quite concerning. I'm 29 and I haven't hit my head either. This sounds more common than most GPs are aware! Who do you suggest I see about this. I really want fast and effective results, as you can imagine. It's been quite enlightening reading all your posts, thank you.

I have just recently found the same... an indent from just behind hairline on right side of forehead running backwards right of the centre. Its about 1 and half inches long...  It definitely has not been there before. I eat quite healthy and take vitamins, so this is extremely odd. But to find so many with the same thing seems even odder... whatever is going on.....

Strange that I decided to google this long crevice/dent I have along my skull & although I just kinda wrote it off for years- I happened to feel it an hour ago & it's a lot wider & softer now. I was surprised to find others with same condition. I have no health insurance and i'm not a fan of doctors anyway but yea, I will load up on the vitamins & supplements! Has anyone found anything new about theirs?

No one ever seems to come back on and give us any updates. Mine are still pretty much non existent since I stopped wearing glasses on my head and started taking extra VitD. I never went back to my doctor to show him, I had showed the Nurse practicioner on a visit when i was sick and she had said she never seen anything like it and told me to make another appt w/my doc but I didn't. I hope the vitamins help yours as well.

sounds a heck of a lot like Lyme Disease to me..i have a dent and soft spot on the top of my head towards the back that appeared 6 months ago, dont have the $ to go to the docs to have it looked at tho :(. Check out this link to LD symptoms  Everyone else on here with unexplainable arthritis and other joing probs GI probs migrains possible fibromyalgia MS symptoms various phsychological issues ect REALLY SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT THERE COULD BE AN ANSWER!!!


Many people do not get the bulls-eye rash or even notice they have been bitten...you can also have a false neg on blood tests since this infection is very good at hiding...you should really go to a LLMD

Well, I was looking into this a while ago and there wasn't anyting on it.  Nice to see that others have the same thing.  I've been wearing sunglasses since I could, basically, and of course on top of my head when I don't need them...I've grown so accustomed to them being on the top of my head that, one time, I literally went to bed with them still on.  LOL!  Anyway, yes, I have some major denting due to this.  I'm sure this is the cause.  I'm going to try what that other person is going to try and keep them off my head for a while.  Lately, it seems, and it could be completely unrelated, but it seems that I get a little pressure there now and again and taking the glasses off seems to give some relief.  Very strange!

Glad to know that I am not the only one that could sleep in sunglasses. It's been VERY hard not wearing them on my head. I am used to it now and I can't feel my dents anymore. It was such a scarey thing, not knowing WHY, your skull would appear to be opening. I hope this issue works for you as well.

I too have dents in my skull.  The newest one starts toward the crown and is about 4 inches long and a fingers width wide.  I went to a dermatologist when I discovered the first one several years ago.  He diagnosed it as Linear Morphea.  This is a localized form of Scleroderma.  All I know is that my first one filled in slightly after about 6 months.  Now 2 years later I have a new larger one.  I was offered no cure or treatment.  So I am searching just like the rest of you...only difference is that I have a name for the condition.

Just to begin with, I am so surprised and relieved this forum popped up on my google search. This problem has been a worry with me for the last two years. At first, I didn't even want to tell anyone about it especially a doctor as I know so many doctors play things down that they don't have a ready answer for. I began to mention to one of my daughters who has convinced me to believe it is probably not normal and I should ask a doctor. I guess I had touched it and worried just long enough to enter it into the search engine. I have read the first two pages of 250 comments and that is just this particular thread. This was enough where I had to sit down and type something before I go any further to say I have so many of these symptoms in common. I am going to list these and make some sort of matrix as I study this worrisome problem of mine and yours. Fortunately, I am not alone. I intend to come back and give updates as I attempt to gain knowledge and hopefully, gain strength to tackle this abnormality both physically and emotionally. Thanks to all of you that have shared similar thoughts. - ima_grandma

However, I relate with you being upset and wanting answers. We all reacted in the same way. That's why everyone has discovered this thread.

I totally agree with you. I posted on here ages ago as I had two dents in my head that had randomly appeared.. but... they've now gone. I suppose I am being really careful with my diet and make sure I get plenty of vitamins and calcium so I must have increased my intake of whatever I was deficient in...

My doctor was baffled and it did worry me at the time, but I can say that they will pass. I did used to wear glasses/sunglasses on my head and maybe that did help to disturb that area of my skull, but I've stopped doing that now (mainly to prolong the life of my glasses and stop stretching them so they fall off).

Just remember, there are far worse things out there, and until proved otherwise they're just dents... nothing sinister.

Thanks, Aliroo, (love your username!) for your feedback.  And, for once, it's positive feedback too.

That's great that your dent went away.  And I agree, you must've been deficient in something and have met that need for it to go away.  Mines still there.  I don't even think about it until someone posts something here.  LOLs!

Cheers to our health!

I have the exact same thing, small indent off my centre part about a finger width and about 4 inches long..weird. I told a friend about it and she said it means I am dehydrated. She said she used to get it too. Dehydration can cause headaches and nausea too, both symptoms that I had.  I am trying to drink more water to see, since I am usually mildly dehydrated. I do however wear sunglasses on top of my head everyday...and it just showed up since Spring when I started to wear them....so who knows...I will stop wearing them and see what happens.

Welcome to the club :)
Really, its nothing to worry about. none of us on here have received a bad diagnosis and it's just one of those odd phenomenon that appear as we trundle through life. Many have benefitted from making sure that you get enough calcium and vitamins in your diet (try taking suppliments of A and D), drink plenty of water, avoid wearing sunglasses on your head and don't stress about it. They will go in time, or if not, they are generally unseen by others so it's only you that will be aware of them. Mine took a couple of years to go, but go they did.

I have the same. It appeared 2 days ago. Just right of center, goes back about 2 inches, seems to be shaped like a very narrow slice of pie or pizza, i.e wider at the front than the back. It's freaking me out. I habitually run my fingers through my hair and I am 100% certain it wasn't there before. I'm a 51 year old female. I do get sinus headaches, but those aren't new.

Hi all, I just came across this last night while I was searching for an answer as to why my head is starting to cave in on the top tward the back. It has been there for a couple of months now and just like all of you I have been racking my brain (before I lose it) trying to figure out why and if it's something I need to go see the doctor about ( I don't know about you guys but I can think of a million other things to do instead of go to doc's!) or is it something I can figure out on my own. With all of your help and my process of elimination I think I have figured out why it was happening to me at least and maybe it will help some of you also. I started methadone treatment in Dec 2011 for a pain pill addiction and have already started to wean myself off of that, but anyways I was not sure if it was related to that some how or the fact I have very long hair and have it constantly up in a ponytail, but after reading all your comments I tried something last night. A couple hours before I went to bed last night I drank a couple glasses of water and a glass of orange juice. I did wake up in the middle of the night to of course go pee pee lol I was still pretty much asleep still and did not think to check my head so I went back to sleep. I woke up this morning and the caving in on the back top of my head is almost gone!!! :) So for me it was dehydration something I could fix myself with all of your help! I drink way to much coffee in the mornings, it's been hot here, when on methadone you have to intake more liquids and vitamins, and I'm bad at drinking enough water each day with all those things going on I was extremely dehydrated and now I'm feeling so much better too! I hope this will help some of you also!!! GO DRINK SOME WATER!!! :)

I am 60 year old female and have recently noticed a cluster of depressions on the right side of my skull close to a skull suture line. My Doctor has sent me for xrays and I am waiting for results. My sister is a drug and alcohol councellor and tells me this is caused by alcohol. I have always been conscious of my health with good nutrition and regular checkups. I have never had any health issues related to liver, heart, diabites etc. I have been researching like crazy and haven't seen anything that gives any type of answer for these suddenly appearing dents. It's quite unusual that so many people are experiencing this and yet we can't find any answers.

Maybe we were all abducted :) lol I laughed at an earlier post cause I also keep telling people to feel my head and Im sure they dont actually feel it...

I am 3 months pregnant and thought it might have had something to do with that but obviously not.

Well... I feel validated that I am not crazy, imagining this, or making it up after reading all the comments. However, it does not make me feel reassured there is nothing to worry about as I have degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, degenerative spine, fibromyalgia, migraines, oh well, the list goes on. I am 61, female and have never felt a dent until this week. I do not wear sunglasses on the top if my head, plus I have been taking Caltrate 600mg with vitamin D 400mg tabs twice a day since July 2003 after gastric bypass. I also take a multi stress vitamin,  a B Complex vitamin twice a day,and eat a healthy balanced diet which includes at least one 8 oz container of yogurt per day, and sometimes two.
I felt like my head was sore on Sunday and reached to rub the sore spot. I found a dent on the top of my cranium at the very top and back of my crown. It is just about a thumb print size and seems to also be swollen around the dent with the entire area sore. I have not hit my head in anyway specifically at that angle in years or ever as far as I remember. What did catch my attention in the posts was the possible correlation with Lyme disease, Scleroderma (sp), spinocerebrel (sp) ataxia, or degenerative disease since I have a connection to more than one of these, and have removed three ticks about a month ago so it is possible Lyme disease could also be present. I did recently have a positive test for Epstein Barre plus have had mono many decades ago. I have a reg appt with my dr in Sept and will be asking a number of questions. I do hope this is some sort of short term fluke and will just disappear with no recurrence. If anyone has a definitive answer as to what is actually happening I would really appreciate the shared info. Currently, a part of Bill Cosby's "Himself and Chocolate Cake" monologue keeps running through my head with the term brain damage - I was at one time someone's child. Maybe it is just now catching up with me?

I am 51 years old and I discover the dents on my head last year. I have headaches on my left side when I get up from bed, somtimes numness on my left arm and a burning feeling inside my left ear. I also have high blood pressure, thyroid and fibromyalgia. I am allergic to dairy and I probably lack in calcium. In 2001 I had a hysterecomy and since then I had loss of hair. I had a CT scan and I am waiting for the results however I suspect that the dents in my head are osteoporosis. Has anyone been checked for osteoporosis? Perhaps is something to be considered. The doctors nowadays are a pain they always think you are depressed however you have to keep seeing then until they help you.
Good luck!

My symptoms seem very similar to yours minus the seizures. About a month or so ago I noticed what feels like a "soft spot" on the top of my skull. It almost seems to follow sutures lines. I went to a doctor today, and they agreed its not normal, but they have no clue. She thinks it's a build up of fluid, but can't be sure. She referred me to a dermatologist for the time being. I am starting to get concerned though, the spot never really was tender until a few days ago and I have noticed I am starting to get dull headaches that just come and go. I noticed your post was from 08, so I was hoping you had found something out?

I tried to feel for a pulse...no pulse, a strong pulse and didn't get anything. Will try again tommorow. She has had alzheimers for about 20 years. I can't really be sure how long she has had this. She hasn't seemed to be in any  pain for the last 20 years..but I remember about 12 years ago I would put my hand on her head and the pulse was really really strong, almost throbbing.  I gave her some homeopathic remedy at the time and the strong pulse stopped and she became more peaceful.

I found this around 2 months ago. If I rub or touch them, I feel discomfort to deep down pain that lasts for a while.  This is no co-incidence that we all have the same type of marking.

Lmac42 As I said before I noticed 2 dents myself that drove me absolutely CRAZY for months. I mentioned it to my Nurse practicioner when I was being treated for a cold and she acted as though theyve probably been there all along (just like everyone acted).  I was not a healthy eater or a vitamin taker, I always wore eye glasses and sunglasses on top of my head. I seen several people on here talking about all of that playing a factor in it. I since then STOPPED wearing glasses on my head, I eat fruits and veggies ALMOST daily and I take my vitamins. I can barely even feel my dents and havent been able top for quite some time.


I am a migraine sufferer and have been my whole life. The only medications I have ever really been on, other than when I am being treated for a cold is clariton for seasonal allergies and imitrex for migraines (which damaged my heart recently.

I've been searching other sites and forums...there are probably thousands of people with these dents and ridges on head...probably lots that aren't even on the forums.  We need a chat room so we can figure out what we all have in common.  I think the odds of this head thing is pretty UNUSUAL!  I feel like something bit me on the head with a special bacterial or virus or even worse.  No one seems to have any explanations.  Mine started around 3 months ago.  I wonder, also, about parasites.  I have had a thyroid disease...with no bumps on my head...years ago.  This is a more recent thing.  I saw one guy had a bump as long as 2005.  How can we get together on a talking forum and get to the bottom of this...Lmac42

How did you find this forum., if you don't have these symptoms ?.  How do you know so many details about this brain disease? Do the symptoms on the head...the indentions and bumps identify this brain disease?  How come everyones doctors didn't get this diagnosis?  Please, do you have anymore ideas or answers? Lmac42

Did you ever get a real diagnosis?  Has anyone got a diagnosis or any more sympoms of the Bump and Indents on the top of our heads?  There are lot of others on other forums with the same thing.  Anyone, ....have the indentions and or Ridges gone away totally for anyone???? Lmac42

Heyy everyone! I'm 19yrs old my sister threw a wrench at my head when I was maybe 9yrs old I cat really remember but I have a deep huge dent on the top of my head towards the back. I don't remember what happened after that incedent I don't remember nothing at all. But I think that's why I forget a lot of things and when I was in school I've always tried to understand everything but it was hard for me to learn so I dropped out. And still til this day my family acts as if nothing happened when I bring the incedent up they ignore it. I have an appointment this month on halloween day let's see what's wrong with my head. Wish me luck!

My kids made me a Facebook so I know how to work it now. Yes, since reading all the posts on the forum, I started taking my vitamins, eating right, I stopped wearing my sun and reading glasses on top of my head and I can not even feel my 2 dents. It's weird how they just eventually closed up? I can not explain it???

my indentation is the same as yours...its like the left side is lower than the right side right in the middle.

I will be seeing my family dr an rheumatologist...this was not on my head a few months ago.  I have fibromyalgia an connective tissue disease and take synthroid for a thyroid problem...I will want a CT or MRI something ...this is not right...enjoy reading all the posts and will let you know what i find out...i have had history of migraines but none recently.

I have the same thing.  One summer day is was running my fingers through my hair and discovered these two dents on the top if my skull.  My doctor had the same reaction as most of your doctors.  "Are you sure they haven't always been there".  She said I should ask my hair stylist.  Really?!  My hair stylists she's hundreds if heads.  Like she'd know mine better than I would???  Anyway...after some persistence, my doc ordered a CT.  It should thinning of the parietal bones.  She said it's nothing to worry about, but I still want to know why this is happening & what can be done to keep it from getting worse.  Now I have a very sensitive scalp as well.  I don't know if its related or not.

Do you have any ideas on how to do a facebook page on this subject...There may be lots more people with the same symptoms.  I also wonder about Nano Technology...Genetically Modified Organisms.  I found out that they are dropped with the Chemtrails and can live in a hair follicle. This is wild..yet , no one's doctor has found out what this is.They are using these GMO's Nano bots or mechanical bugs in the corn and cotton fields to kill the real pests of corn and cotton.  Then they nest in the plants and could even be in our cotton clothes or corn husks...I do alot of gardening...could there be anything to this?  I am still researching.  Have you heard of the Nano Mosquitos?

If I take my finger down the midline of my scull I have a dent on the crown of my head toward the back.  I am 25 and I noticed it in my adolescent years. It has about a 2 inch radius and is tender to the touch...not painful or even sore really...just tender.  I am healthy, my diet isn't the best ever but I am not overweight and I do eat some type of fruit and or vegetable daily, but definitely not enough.  I've always loved milk but I do not drink vitamin d milk and do not take any other supplements.  I do have a pretty crappy memory and I don't concentrate as well as I'd like to but I don't think these things are severe, more of an inconvenience.  I have also never had any broken bones and I do not get persistent headaches.  I always just figured I was either born with this weirdness or I hit my head when I was younger and didn't tell my parents.  Who knows.  Anyway through the years it has sparked my curiosity enough to find myself on this strange site.

Also, I'm not sure we should get too carried away thinking its all women who have these dent things.  Im married and IF my husband noticed he had a dent on his head he would say,"huh" rub his head a little and never worry about it again.  Especially not to the point where hed go searching it on the net.  He's a mans man and I think a lot of men are like him and let things go a little more than women.  For instance, I work in a dental office and most of our male patients don't become patients until either their wife makes them or theyre in dire pain.  So I guess I'm saying there are probably some dent heads with a higher level of testosterone out there somewhere.

I thought I was going crazy when I noticed a deep indent in the top of my head.  I know for sure it was not there before, I am 57 yrs old and just appeared.  I havent gotten any answers yet.  My family doctor will probably say it is "all in my head" .  Did anyone ever give an answer for this?

I, too, have found a ridge on either side of my head, starting on the top at the front, just behind the hairline, and going straight back to the middle top of my head. I am a 52 yr old woman, and have just noticed this in the past couple of months. I, too, wear reading glasses all day long on the top of my head ever since getting this new pair whose arms are too big for the rubber bands on the chain that one might wear around one's neck to keep glasses near-by.
This is such a strange / bizarre thing for us all to be seeking answers to. I have not yet made a doctor app't ... i rarely go to a doctor, as I don't usually have any issues.
I'm not a big milk drinker, (unless I eat chocolate!), but I do eat a lot of veggies, as I understand that many veggies actually contain more calcium than milk. (and cow's milk is really an odd thing for humans to be drinking anyway, imho ... something that is supposed to grow a calf many hundreds of pounds in a year or so).
The glycol is an interesting topic, but I don't think I am taking any of that in. I never did like the idea of that drink additive for water. So bizarre.
Anyway, one day, if things change, I might jus have to go and see a doctor, or a phrenologist ... someone who studies the lumps and bumps of one's head.

I just discovered my indent today and it totally freaked me out.  My DH found this forum and it helps to alleviate some of the stress.  I know it wasn't there before because I just recently started parting my hair on the other side and noticed just Friday that the skin looked pink there.  Haven't been in the sun so it wasn't that.  Also my DH often rubs my scalp and he would have noticed after 30 years of marriage don't you think?  I do wear my glasses on my head often but have all my life so that doesn't make sense.  I'm a 63 old woman.  I do get migraines, eat pretty well and take vitamins.  I was diagnosed as dehydrated last year so have since taken more water. Don't have a Dr. I trust right now since we just moved here recently.  I guess that's it for now.  Will check back.

People think I am crazy when I say mine vanished after not wearing my sun and eye glasses on top of my head. I still catch myself putting them on my head out of habit and then I take them off.

So I first noticed an indentation in my skull about 2 months ago.  It forms a line on the top if my head from front to back.  It was preceded by headaches (not common for me).  I found this post about 2 weeks later.  I, too, wear glasses on top of my head, but I couldn't see how glasses would have that effect. I asked my doctor- you guessed it, I was born that way and just now touched my scalp for the first time.  Brilliant!

I am a 36 year old female, and am breastfeeding.  I took prenatals and vit D daily already, but added more calcium after reading these posts.  The one that hit home, though, was propylene glycol.  I had cut my hair off about a week before noticing the crater on my skull, and bought new hair products.  The third ingredient?  Propylene glycol.  I stopped it and went back to Aveda and it is better but not gone.  

My guess?  With breastfeeding I was already pulling a great deal of calcium from my body, so adding something like propylene glycol that blocks absorption had a double hit.

Add me to the list! I am 58 and have 2 indents. I have been a non meat eater for about 25 years, no milk either. Maybe the Vit D will help?

Morgellons is coming thru the cotton clothing among other things.  It enters the body and ends up going towards the brain.  I am looking at all options.  I even bought clothing from a MAJOR store , took them home and found morgellons nematodes in all the clothing.  I checked out all of them with my microscope.  I also checked out all of my clothing ...they all had the same nematodes.  These things can bite..so all my clothes, sheets, bedding, dishrags, towels and cotton carpet are gone.  While in drawers , closets, boxes, these nematode spready quickly.  When looking at them with just your eyes, they look like white dots , the size of pepper.  But, under the microscope, they are fibers , mostly black that weave their way into the clothing fabric and cannot be washed out.  They can enter your body thru time.... I have bought all "Polyester" clothing.  Cotten was my favorite.  The  "New" fiber is called Viscose, Modal,Agodon" etc.  Even Rayon can be infected. Even my house slippers had to thrown away.  Well, it may not be the answer, but it is something we need to watch and be aware of.  The cotton fields are loaded up with these things,...they kill the real insect pests, then nest and lay their eggs in the cotton plant.  The Cotton is picked, made into clothing and they are still in the fabric..The clothes are then sent to the states and all over the world..where we pay for these parasites.  You will not hear about this from the CDC or Main stream News.  WHY???  What have you found out about all these people on this site with the same head dents and indentions? Its weird that no one has found out almost nothing.  This may not be the exact problem...But, it is a MAJOR Problem ....Even the TP, paper towel, sterilized wound patches have these morgellons Nano nematodes.  I don't know where I can dry my hands anymore.  A decent Microscope costs around 100.00.  I found these nematode "white pepper dots" and tiny cotton balls on my clothing , even after soaking them in vinegar, washing them and drying them.  The tiny white cotton lint ball ...was full of black fibers and probably their nest.  Since this is a Genetically Modified "ORGANISM"..I just hope they aren't slipping them into our food....since they are not labeling it GMO or what they are putting into it.  Lmac42

I've read most of the comments here and I like most everyone am in my mid 30's and have the same indentation on the top center of my head towards the back.  I noticed it about 2 years ago and it wasn't til I read the forum that I realized, it's probably nothing to worry about other than dehydration and lack of certain vitamins.   I was told 6 months ago that I was lacking  vitamin D by my doctor so I have started that supplement.  I've always been one to rarely drink water so I'm trying to make it a point to drink more and am now taking fruit and veggie vitamins.  I'll post a f/u in a few months to see if the dent improves.

Found this through a google search, I am worried about it and am booking an apt Monday to see my GP.

There are several peculiar things about my situation. I have read many posts with people talking about a Vit D deficiency. Well I live in Canada and I work in a studio with no windows. So in the winter months I barely see the sun. My indentation is at the top of my head near the front and runs about 4 inches long in the ear to ear direction. Its a perfect little cradle for my headphones, which I wear close to almost every waking hour because i listen to music at work and play video games with a headset most nights there after. Its not tender, I don't get headaches ever, but im 29 and since I have noticed the indentation I have started to lose my hair in the same spot.

I know for a fact this wasn't there until recently give or take a couple years. When I was in my early 20's I often shaved my head completely, or into a Mohawk or something of the sort. I would rub my head because it would feel so weird and had the indentation been there all my life I would have felt it, and just like now, been freaking out about it.

Lots of people with the same issue and although I dont have time to read every post I didnt come across one with anyone who had a doctor give them a decent prognosis. I'll give it a shot see what my GP has to say and will write a follow up.

In response to my situation its really weird but whatever here's what happened.

Couldn't get in with my GP for at least a month or so, since i'm not really in immediate danger of anything they just told me to keep headphones and such away from it. This was easy as i'm in between contracts right now and when I do wear headphones I wear them near the back of my head now rather then across the top.

The indentation I had, over the next little bit, lessened slightly week by week until now its almost completely gone. I would like to think of my skull as a thick piece of bone protecting my brain but maybe its more malleable then I thought.

I noticed a dent in the top back of my head a little over a year ago, it seems to be slightly to the left. It does not feel tender necessarily but there seem to be ridges around it almost like there is no skull there? I know I haven't had it all my life because I know the shape of my skull. It is freaking me out and I keep having panic attacks about it. I was vegetarian for over 10 years and did battle with anorexia and alcohol abuse. I am currently breastfeeding. I may be vitamin d deficient since I live in the pacific nw. Anyone else with a dent in this spot?

I am 51, it seems there are alot of 30 something yr olds and 50 something yr olds in this forum. I discovered an indention on both sides, running along a ridge on the top of my head. The indention on the right side is much deeper. I do wear my glasses on top of my head, but I've always done that. I am also a RN; I have no clue what these are from. I am quite sure when I show them to my Dr. (have an appt in a couple of weeks) she'll say something to the effect that it means nothing. I have had headaches for months, not severe, just extremely aggravating. I attribute those to smoking. I quit for a few weeks and the headaches disappeared. I started dabbling and each time I would smoke, I would get a headache. I think it is sinus irritation from the smoke. I am going to try and put them down again very soon. I do not drink a lot of water; I'm a diet Dr Pepperaholic. I do take VIt. D. I was checked a year ago and my Vit D level was less than half of what it was supposed to be. After taking the prescribed levels of Vit D for a month, I then started on OTC Vit D. Perhaps a Vit D deficiency could be the culprit? I don't know, but if I find anything new, I will post findings.

I am 34 years old and I have had in indentation at the middle of my skull for as long as I can remember. I have been diagnosed with a Vit D deficiency as well. I do not have any issues with headaches nor do I feel any pain at the site but it is tender if I feel at to much or press hard. I am healthy and choose not to worry or think too much about it. I don't even know why I just now decided to look it up on the net. I think you maybe you did always have it, like I did but you never noticed

I had a very deep ridge on my right head from the Centre almost to my ear.
I've monitored it for a year or so and can say it is more pronounced if i haven't drunk enough water. Over a few hours of drinking water it will fade.
Also  recently been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue- too much cortisol in my blood  and during this period have  developed several more at the back of my head, these develop overnight when I'm having an attack. I had no idea about adrenal function until a urine test highlighted my problem. Blood tests will not show and endless CT scans and x-rays were fruitless.

I had s head injury in 2009 but I swear I never had this huge indentation, same area top front. Before that I experienced hair loss, a heaviness on the top of my head and tingling along with swelling and numbness.  I also noticed my white hair was growing in dark black. I got a kenalog steroid shot in that area and it was swollen if anything.  Now a few weeks later I have this huge indentation.  I'm still numb and it doesn't hurt at all. I had episodes of periodic vomiting which was odd and I just got over a week migraine. I don't know if I hit my head in my sleep, I have slept walk and had seizure since my head injury. Could it indent after three years or should I be freaking out. I take vitamins and get a vitamin b shot monthly.  I take pristiq. Ambient.and suboxone for pain.  I also have suffered from paralysis in my left leg from a botched epidural for a year that developed into rsd. Oh and I have eye welling off and on.  I also have avn of both hips but other than that I'm doing fine.

One thing I have noticed is that when I put my sunglasses up on my head when I don't want to wear them, the indention gets deeper.

This makes a lot of sense. To the person with the dent on back of head...do you wear a baseball hat??

I am so amazed at all the post about this. I noticed an indention on the top of my head toward the front of forehead. It started out small and has gotten deeper and its on both sides of the middle of my scalp. There is no pain or tenderness. Reading all these post tonight I realized that I have been wearing my reading glasses like a headband and the ridges match where the nose piece sits. It makes sense now. I feel better knowing my head isnt caving in.

people think I'm crazy when I tell them mine just appeared one day and it finally went away after I stopped wearing my sun and reading glasses on my head, I was freaked out-thinking my head was caving in!!!! I am still dent free!

I have indentations at the top of my head too - two of them parallel with each other sort of splitting the top  both are about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long I also feel the back of my head is tender and I am having mild headaches . At first I thought maybe having my reading or sunglasses on top of my head created the dents but they don't go away if I don't wear them like that so i don't know of I just damaged soft tissue or if something abnormal is happening . My Dr laughed and said he saw one other person like this and sent them for tests only to find their arteries were just prominent creating a sort of bulge ghere nothing more

I have the same thing. Any updates? It has been several years since anyone posted and this is the only place I have found matching symptoms.

I believe that it is a vitamin D issue. I do wear my reading glasses on top of my head and have stopped since reading this. I have already started taking vitamin d3 with calcium as well. I think it is one of those things that no one has an answer to. I will post as soon as my indentions disaapear. Hopefully soon.

Can't believe i have finally found something on this, don't know how many different searches i have put in and all the time spent looking for an answer!
I am 28yo female & first discovered my dent where my crown is, in the middle of my headgoing down ,when i was 19, i touched it on and off told myself it was nothing & forgot about it for a couple of years. 2 years later i had thyroid cancer, had a total thyroidectomy and a partial parathyroidectomy. This has meant i will forever be on a thyroid supplement but also calcium & vit d supplement for the rest of my life. After that i rediscovered the area told my mum and she said get it checked out, went to a doctor and she really did laugh at me and say i was silly everyones skull is shaped differently, i felt like an idiot so didnt even want to try a second opinion. Anyway had my 2nd child & life got busy & so forgot about it once again. Every now and again i would skim over it worry for a day and then push it to the back of my mind again.Now im at home all the time unable to work and kids are in school i guess i have more time to worry &  I swear it is getting worse now and has been constantly on my mind for the last 6 months, mine is now 3 fingers across in length and 4 fingers down  in width. and i swear it is sensitive to touch because i get lightheaded feelings when i touch over the area, i get pain in the area and blame it on having my hair tied up but i know it comes from that. the last 6 months i have been feeling a pressure in my head i cant explain and have frquently had headaches & head colds. I am now almost 28. This is not something that has disappeared & reappeared for me but over nearly 9 years since first disc overing it i feel it is getting larger. I am on the maximum calcium & vit d daily and all blood tests now show those things are fine as long as i take the meds. ALl other blood work is fine, i had an mri prior to finding the dent but i swear it wasnt there when i had that done and that came back fineat the time, a whole body bone scan recently which showed barely anything, all that was found is mild generation of my middle spine & knees, this also does not explain the pain i get in both of these areas.i have seen a rhuematologist who told me they couldnt do anything for me. I also always have cold hands & feet, in winter i swear i cant even feel them no matter how many layers i have on. if i raise my arms above my head while standing or laying down or drape them over the bed side i lose feeling. doctors also have given up on this as no one can find out why. i have experienced hand tremors when concentrating on fine tasks in the last 3 months.  i feel that my hair is definately thinning i guess that would come with age aswell and wondered if i feel it more because of that? who knows, i regularly have an itchy scalp but oily hair. really try not to touch the area at all. I cannot bend over and lower my head and can not do somersaults on the ground or on monkey bars r jump on a trampoline as i used to as a child as the pressure build up in my head is too huge. i feel it comes from this. if doctors arent willing to listen what else are we to do.. there is obviously a real explanation for it. so glad to find others in my situation really is kind of comforting. i am healthy otherwise, dont smoke, hardly drink alcohol, i do not eat red meat, average weight for my build and do regular walking. i stress myself out over having brain tumour or something as i cant think of anything else. im on the waiting list to see neurologists about the head pressure but could be ages til i get in there.

I also sometimes have a feeling in my head kind of hard to describe but it feels like bubbles if that makes any sense to anyone, i have never hit my head or had any injury and no one else in my entire family has this.

I am a 52 y/o woman, post menopause, healthy.  Over the 6 months I've developed two finger-sized dents in the top of my head, each to the side of the center of the skull, near the front.  This is exactly where my reading glasses rest on my head.  The dents are about a finger's width and 1.5 inches long, and a little sensitive to the touch.  I've no health insurance, so I've been ignoring them, but I am concerned.  My glasses are very light-weight, but I've only been wearing them in that location for the same duration as I've developed these dents.  Can't think of any other explanation.

Hi iam a 39 year old women and have noticed that I have developed ridges in my head too, I didn't really take any notice but I went to my hairdressers the other day and she to noticed the biggest one I have, and she asked me what it was and had I had an op or something, I found myself lieing and told her I had always had it, but I know for sure I havn't but untill finding this forum, I hadn't come across anyone with the same symptons, I went to my doctors and she told me I had nothing to worry about she thought it was just the way my scalp had developt, even though I told her that I knew I havn't had them for long, she said she was certain that it was nothing to do with having a brain T or anything like that, so not to worry. But I know 100% that I havn't had them since birth. The only thing I could think of that had happened recently was that I got a bad virus which then turned into headaches for several weeks and then they stopped, she told me that if it was anything to worry about the headaches would of got worse not better. so no real answers as to the dents in my head... oh and I also get an itching scalp and sometimes greasy. But Im really glad Im not the only allian on earth lol x

I am a 42 YO woman who has begun menopause or pre menopause and have been experiencing similar issues as the rest of the folks here. I too wear sunglasses on my head every single day, I also have indentations on either side of a center part right about where my glasses sit. I also am not a milk drinker. I have come to the conclusion that since as women, we need to drink milk or add a vitamin D and calcium supplement after the age of twelve to combat Osteoporosis, and most of us wear glasses on our head, that our bones develop softness from lack of calcium over the years and then adding the glasses creates a semi permanent dent. Some may be from arthtritic nodules when ridges are an issue, I was in a car accident some years ago and also developed ridges on the back of my head where arthritis pains me.

I noticed a dent in my head yesterday. Maybe an inch long, fairly narrow. I am 47, wear glasses on my head too. The dent, or ridge, is on the front of my head, not too far back from my hairline. As soon as I noticed the thing, I freaked and did a bing search. This forum was the first thing I found. I will take advice re calcium and no more glasses on the head and will see what happens. It is very unpleasant to find such a thing just appear out of the blue and this place is at least a comfort, knowing there are many others out there with the same symptoms. When I see my doctor in a few months I will ask him about it. Will update if I discover anything new or if the dent goes away.

Haven't finished reading all the pages yet but as irony would ave it, my name is Sam! ( nickname). Just woke up yesterday w/ two pencil eraser size dents w/ a ridge in between.Or it feels like a teenie ridge in comparison to the 'dents'. Recently 65 and have experienced a lot of hair loss recently. Would loooove to hear of follow ups to earlier reports.

I wear my magnifying glasses and sunglasses on thop of my head.  After doing this for years the soft tissue on top of my head has formed indentations on top.  Especially in the area where the cut out for the nose is located.  I now have a definite lump in that area and a couple dips around the lens area.  It feels strange but causes me no problems and no hairloss.  Just surprised out easy to change the shape of my head after 40 years!

I'm not really a member of this group but I am currently 22 and just recently went through something similar and my doctor and I came to the decision that it was just a different recurrence of something i had when i was too young to remember but it is called a granuloma and is completely benign but can be pretty scary if you don't know what it is.   The only reason my doctor and i came up with that is because my mom tormented it.   There are also other forms that can develop later in life too.

I'm sure that's just your doctors cop out for not knowing. Many of us have seen doctors that have no clue.

I'm glad I found this thread.  We've just discovered an indented "trench" on my 5-year old neice's head. It's about 4 inches long, about the depth of an adult finger. She is also losing her hair in a few patches. Her doctors thought alopecia. But they are stumped about this indentation.

We are so scared. She goes in for an MRI and sees a pediatric neurologist  in about 10 days.

Hi everyone, I noticed an indent in my skull running from crown to the front of my head that is parallel to the center cranial line about 4 months ago.  It is about a finger width and definitely depressed.  I have been diagnosed with hypothyroid, fibromyalgia, arthritis, vitamin D deficiency, triglyceride deficiency, high cholesterol, diseases of my spine...I.e degenerative disc disease, hearth disease and I have also been diagnosed with "growths" on my thyroid but my endocrinologist said they are nothing to worry about, even though they have their own blood supply??  Anyway, I too wear my glasses on top of my head.  Someone mentioned Lyme disease but I am pretty much bed bound, do my symptoms sound like anything in particular when all bundled together?  I'm not taking my meds for my cholesterol, triglycerides, vitamin D, fibro or my heart as they are WAY too expensive, even with my insurance.....oh, and I am a 51 yr old female.  Any suggestions?

hello i am reading your posts i realized i had the dent in 10th grade i had an xray on my head done the dr told me that something interrupted the fusing process when i was an infant possibly most likely i was dropped on my head during this time. He told me not to worry for it did fuse enuogh so that my brain is covered but just i have a dip abot the size of my four fingers in the middle/back of my head and it is tender to touch so i just avoid touching it maby this will help you!

I was not dropped on my head and have never had a head injury of any sorts.. it just appeared when i was 18 and has not gone away after 9 years just getting wider & deeper. I am constantly worrying about it and its all I think about. It has been 3 weeks now of constant headaches & a pressure feeling in my head, i have had these before in the last 12mo but never lasted this long. i feel tired all the time & have no energy despite me being on the highest thyroid med that i can take. im almost convinced there is something sinister going on underneath because i am just not me anymore, most of time i don't feel like im here in my head, im forgetting things all the time & becoming really light sensitive, my hair is thinning & last night im pretty sure i found some spots where my hair is almost gone. i think im going to go see a new doctor this week and demand another mri & ct scan or whatever else they can do because its making me crazy not knowing what the hell it is and having a name for it!

So sorry you all are going thru this and worrying yourselves so much, I too used to worry SO MUCH- that itself makes it so much WORSE for you. It will make you crazy. After not wearing glasses or sunglasses on my head anymore, taking more VIT D and eating healthier...my dents do not bother me anymore, I really cant even feel them anymore. I recently had several MRI and CT scans because of some severe blood pressure issues making sure I didnt have strokes and nothing abnormal showed up on my head. So, I feel so much better and haven't worried anymore at all.

Hi, my name is Sharon, i am a 35 yr old female and today i found a new dent on the right hand side of my head... happy to read i am not the only one with this. Reading all the posts, i do wear sunglasses every day, and i have for the last year been on a diet and lost 10kg... the vit d and calcium thing sounds plausible .... wish someone would do some research....

Thanks to all for your posts.

I have none of the other symptoms like hair loss and headaches

Hi,
i have like most put in a search about dents in the skull, as this is what i am suffering with.I thought i would reply to your post as this info may be of use.
The dent started about 10yrs ago in my hairline on my forehead and felt about the size of a pea, i just thought at some point of being a busy mum i had hit my head and caused a dent in my skull, however in the last few years it has become bigger 8x5mm and a new indentation has formed at the back of my ear, so i went to the doctors 2 weeks ago (not keen on going to the docs)
i am being sent to the dermotologists to be checked out for a skin condition whereby there maybe scarring and the skin starts to sink in causing a indentation... axe in head kind of look the doc decribed it as, can not remember the name (GP reeled it off so fast) it is incurable but can be treated with steriod injections. So far my blood work is fine and i have no other conditions, i dont wear glasses, nor hats just a busy mum/wife/worker

I have a bit of an update.. I went to my original doctor yesterday who I went through for my first mri 8 years ago.. and after a lot of what ifs she phoned the hospital I had gone through to get the results as she never got them.. it turns out the mri I had back then was in fact not clear as I had presumed.. no one had bothered to follow up with me or my doctor and we assumed no news was good news and I simply forgot about it.. so the report on my mri scan 8 years ago stated there was a partial abnormality noted and bone thinning of the right side temporal region of my skull.... so I had another ct scan done yesterday (yet to get results) and then im being put on a waiting list for neurology yet again to get another mri before I will find out more..
