Hello,
You have noticed a dent on your head, in the middle and it is quite long in length. You have head sensation, slight pain and are nauseous. Your symptoms may be indicative of genetic disorder, bone diseases or cancerous tumors, etc. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP or a surgeon.
Get all required blood tests and imaging tests (X-Ray, bone scan, CT scan, MRI scan, PET scan) done. If you have Paget’s disease of bone, Gorham’s disease, or another rare bone disease that’s causing your skull dent, your doctor will treat you accordingly.
Some people would need bone grafts to surgically correct the bone mass loss in their skull. Stay away from addictions, smoking, drugs, alcohol, etc. Get treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
