What Causes An Indentation And Headache After A Head Injury?
I was in an accident today where the driver flipped a polaris ranger and I hit my head on a metal bar, once I crawled out of the vehicle my vision was black and I couldn t hear anything. I now have an indentation on the top of my forehead and a headache that won t go away. Should I get this checked out?

Hi,
Yes, You need to visit a general physician or general surgeon in case there are bruises or cuts associated to on. The indented area is because of the traumatic blow and associated inflammation in that region. The cause to be concerned is persistent pain and if there is associated vomiting or nausea or any sort of power loss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
