What Does A Dent In The Head Indicate?
I was rubbing my 7 yr old daughters head and it felt like she had an indentation in the top of her head. Not like a soft spot in a baby it just slightly dips in. Im not sure if thats just the shape of her head, if its been like that forever i just noticed it now. Should i have this checked by a dr?

Hi,
In my opinion there is no soft spot like the one you have described in a 7 yr old child. If you are sure and can feel it repeatedly at the same place - consult your doctor for confirmation and necessary action.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel,
