What Causes Dark Circles And Dip In Middle Of Head?
Hello, my 8 yr old son has a dip on the top of his head(soft spot area), that he says is tender. I noticed it a couple years ago , but haven't thought too much about it ... since his pediatrician hasn't ever said anything about it during well visits. He also has dark circles which I haven't been given an answer for.

Hi
Greetings
The dip at the scalp is likely to be site of frontanelle, there is no cause to be worried about.
Dark under eye circles are due to
1. Lack of sleep
2. Decreased intake of fluids
3. Vitamin deficiency
Ensure adequate intake of fluid, vitamin supplementation and good sleep will take care of it.
