[|Human|] I have a dent in the back of my skull towards the top. I first noticed it about 2 years ago. The dent has gotten bigger and hurts. It s sore without touching it, and when i do touch it, it hurts worse. I also have had constant headachea since I was 14. I am now 25. Should I be worried?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important for you to consult a neurologist and get clinically examined in detail. Since the dent is slowly increasing in size over 2 years therefore it looks like a benign condition that is slowly progressing with time. It is important to do do a CT scan and if required an MRI scan to know in complete detail the condition causing the dent in the skull. It is a concern as you have been neglecting it for 2 years, and it might grow further with time and can become serious. There are many benign conditions like cysts and tumors which can slowly infiltrate the skull bone and underlying tissues. There is no need to go to ER, but you should consult the neurologist within 15 days. The CT scan will further show if it is having an underlying problem and having a component involving the brain structures. Please take treatment on time.
