If you have pain, I would definately get that checked out ASAP. I have 2 dents but have no pain with either, I do suffer from migraines and have my whole life. I'm procrastinating making another appt with my doctor.

I have the same problem. I went to bed one night and woke up the next morning with an indent in my head. Mine starts in the front middle and goes to the top of my head, I suffer from cronic (chronic) head aches. I too went to the doctors, had an MRI done. Nothing. My doctor said she had never seen anything like it before. It has been almost a year and yesterday I woke up with another one! This one is to the left of the first one. Same thing, a straight line from the front hair line to the top of the head. Tender to the touch but not painful. Had a headache the day before.

Christy, sounds like mine are in the same area as yours. What do you take for your migraines? Does it seem like the dents are deeper sometimes? Like today, the smaller one to the left of my 1st one, I can barely feel...now tomorrow it will probably be deeper.

Just stumbled to this site by googling "dent in skull", anyways I too have a dent in my skull and its been there for as long as i can remember. I know i wasent born with it, according to my mom it formed around my first birthdate. although my dent is bone hard and i've never had any pain in it or around it. Im 25 year old now and i dont think its going away, im now looking for a cosmetic sergery (surgery) to "fix it". A metal plate underneath the skin covering the dent or maybe the doctors can fill it up with bondo or something.

This is really strange that so many people have these indentions in their skulls and not know where they come from. As for me I know where mine came from. When I was a young child probably between pre-k and kinder, I was hit in the head with a basket ball and it cracked my skull/head at the very top. My hair is thin immediately behind it where it use to grow wildly even after the accident. So I don't think I will blame that on the incident I think that is hereditary from dad's side. My concern is the super tenderness. It feels like if I touch my hair there that it will just come right out. It hurts so much. This has only happened maybe a couple of times before in my life. I am now 40. I really wish someone could tell me what the cause for this sensitivity is since I am unemployed now and now have no insurance. It freaks me out but I don't want to make a huge hospital bill if it something like a lack vitamin issue or something. HELP!

I too have found a small dent in the front of my head, its about an 1inch long and 1/4 inch wide and slowly getting bigger, i'm suffering from headache every day and i'm getting very forgetful. I'm just waiting to go for a cat scan to rule out tumours which after reading some of your comments i believe they wont find anything the same as they didn't with yours which is making me more nervous as to what it might be.. i fell when i was about 8/9 years old but that was on the back of my head and not the front.

Hello, I have a 22 year old son that just had a cat scan and the Dr's are stumped. I have been surfing the net trying to find some answers. He just developed the indentations over the last two or three months. We would like to be filled in on anything we can get. They are trying to say they are cysts. But I have never seen a cyst that indents.

Hi! everyone
My 12 year daughter noticed she had one indentation on the top back of her head it's very noticeable when you run your fingers trough her hair. She tells me the area feels sore and can feel itchy like sore muscles. She's been experiencing daily headaches for the past 4 days, so severe that tylenol does not work and Advil will calm the pain but then it returns after the effects of the medication wears off. I started to freak out but after reading this I'm no sure if I should be so concerned. I will see how she is in the next few days and might bring her for further testing. My insurance ***** so I'm trying not to have unecessary testing. Please keep me posted. Thank you!

Hi madaline, not too many people have posted the outcome of their indentions. I had went to the doctor because I was sick. I seen the nurse practicioner that day and showed them to her and of course she had never seen anything like that. SO I am procrastinating on making another appt. with my doc. I have noticed since I read a post from another person on here about wearing glasses on their head that my dents are not so deep now that I stopped wearing my eye and sunglasses on my head. the newest smaller dent is almost non existent. However, my dents go up and down on the top of my head, you would think that if it were from sunglasses the dents would be across the top of my head.

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!

Sep 29, 2011

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 :)

My mother has the same thing and it has gotten worse. I have had her at Scripps Clinic in San Diego, CA and lots of test have been run on her with no cancer, tumors or infections. Still trying to find out why this is happening. Any update on your end?

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?

please let me know what you find out, i think you are the same as myself you have a different explanation for possible causes. i fell on ice and you had a stroke so something might be going on with us.

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.
