welcome to healthcaremagic
is this problem present since birth? how old is your baby? do post more details about it..usually there will be a opening just above the forehead which would feel soft,called as anterior fontanalle..it closes by 18 months..if u mean the very same spot then its normal for age below 18 months..do get a CT if the skull looks very abnormal
