What Causes Soft Spots On Head?
Mom has about 3 soft spots on her head. She . Has fallen but had a ct scan at hospital. They didn t see anything at the time. Mom recently was taken off of Coumadin. Also she s been dehydrated lately from the fluid pills. Could any of these cause the soft squishy spot that I feel in my mom s head?

Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Soft squishy spots on head after head trauma are mainly related to accumulated blood under the skin.
This possibility is increased by Coumadin use that increases bleeding possibility.
Fluid or water pills are not related to these soft spots.
If these spots tend to grow in size, evacuation through a syringe and elastic bandage may be necessary.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Take care.
