Suggest Remedy For Soft Spot On Head

Good morning Dr. Prasad,I am a female, 59 years old. I am having a soft spot on my head about where we would normally find in a new born. It has been there for about 2 years now. Not much pain nor discomfort. But of late some pain seems to be emanating from that spot towards the shoulder.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is important to get a clinical examination done for the soft spot on your head. It is unusual for any one at 59 years to have a soft area as seen in a new born. It can be due to a change in the bones of the skull or due to something growing on the scalp under the skin. Since the nerves in different parts of the body are interconnected, it is possible that you are feeling the pains in the shoulder. Please consult your doctors and get an imaging investigation that will confirm if your skull bones are involved and if there is a ny growth in the area.
