Bone growth and Nutrition

For the past few years I have been a little self conscious about the size of my head.  I'm 19 years old and 5'7", about 135 pounds.  In my early teens/preteens I was anorexic, probably from age 12 to age 15, give or take a few months.  I now am normal in every aspect, except the size of my skull, which is strangely small.  I've gotten the response before (from people who haven't seen me) that maybe I am still carrying body prejudices from my anorexic years and am imagining the disproportionateness, yet I have no other body concerns or even dislikes. The size of my head has been noticed by family members and friends, (i.e. joked about), which I try not to take to seriously, but I can't say that it hasn't bothered me some.  In addition the rest of the members of my family have very large heads while I am about 9 heads tall.  I also have very deep cracks, (I knew at one time the scientific name; the cracks between the skull plates) in my skull, at least in comparison to the few friends and family members who've let me compare, haha.  I was wondering if the small size of my skull could be a result of malnutrition during the main years of my growth spurt.  And could,(this is a stretch), supplemental growth hormones help in bringing my head to a normal size?  Would anything else help?  As I've lived with this for a few years now, I realize it is not a life or death situation and I'm prepared to live with my physical flaws, but any help would be appreciated.  Please give it some thought and don't blow it off as a trivial question b/c it is significant to me.  Thanks in advance

Hello

I have similar problem. I was always very skinny.
Now I have 21 years, 181 cm and a little over 70 kg, and a small head. I'm still a little skinny but my head is small even comparing to my thin body. And everyone in my family has normal-size head. So I'm also very interested in finding if there is any way to fix it.

I see that you have posted your message over a month ago, so mabye you already have some answers to this. I would be very gratefull if you could share with them

i am 20 and also have a small head and get teased often. plus my long neck makes it even more obvious. i buy t shirts and shirts with tight collars to hide this. however i have a sorta complex about this and would love a bigger size head. never asked a doctor about it, strange question to ask really! some of my family have small heads but mine is most obvious. any ideas of what i can do? i was thinking of an operation on my jaw to make my face longer and appear larger but it would almost never happen. i would be interested in hormones... i saw giganticism once on the simpsons and thought i want a bit of that!

appreciate  any advice on hormones, or reasons why - malnutrition? and any short and long-term ideas. thankyou
