Hello,

If you are speaking about the sunken soft spot on top of your head which hurts when you mild pressure is applied to it, that is the fontanelle which can be seen in babies, but not for adults. Do consult a doctor for physical examination. No need to freak out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand, Psychologist
