Suggest Treatment For Noticeable Dent On Forehead
Question: Hi, I'm 51, female, good health. I have a dent in my forehead. I was told that I fell on my head when I was two and had a terrible black and blue face and cried a lot for a few months. Was never taken to a doctor (bad parent, whole other story...) No headaches other than eyestrain ( wear glasses). The dent is very noticeable, I've always worn bangs to cover it. It's clear that my skull was pushed in due to the fall, early baby picture show no dent. I just started wondering if I should have it checked out? What should I be looking for, if there is a reason to be concerned? Any info/insight would be appreciated.
Brief Answer:
N reason to be concerned. No need to have it checked out!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this gal and the dent. But for the fact that you may not like the look of this dent, there is no reason to express further worries or fear. This dent needs no further medical attention and poses no further threat to your life. Because the skull of children is malleable, falls can create a definitive dent that will last lifelong.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
