Suggest Treatment For A Dent On The Scalp
Question: Theres a very large dent in the middle of my scalp. What might be the causr of this
Brief Answer:
Dent in Scalp
Detailed Answer:
Good morning. Thank you for your question. I also see that you asked this same question before several months ago of another doctor. The answer he gave is reasonable in terms of being a collection of tissue elements such as small blood vessels, fatty or collagenous tissue.
An X-ray of the scalp is quite indicated and if that shows the presence of something OTHER THAN BONE in that region then, an MRI would be very good to order next step to follow.
If I've adequately answered your questions could you do me a huge favor by CLOSING THE QUERY and being sure to include some fine words of feedback along with a 5 STAR rating if you feel my suggestions have helped? Again, many thanks for posing your question and please let me know how things turn out.
