Indentation in top of head

I was really hoping for a suggestion as to why I may have developed an indentation in the top of my head. At first I thought I was crazy, and that it was impossible for that to happen, but over the last few months it seems to have grown and now anyone who feels the top of my head can easily feel it. It scares me, especially since my husband had brain surgery less than 2 years ago- (symptoms completely different of course) I am 35 years old, the only time I remember hitting my head really hard is when I was in elementary school and I fell and hit my head on a tile floor. I have had a history of passing out and having seizures but the doctors never figured out for sure what caused it and it hasn't happened for a few years. The best they came up with was blood sugar, and dehydration as a cause for those episodes, although I never had a MRI or anything of my head. I don't get pains from it, it may be a little tender if I press on the indent kind of hard. Is there any condition that would cause my skull to cave in? please help!

I am 79 years old, working and still very active....79 is the new 49. However I recently developed the same ridge in my skull to the right of center and another lessor one to the left of center. It seems to be deeper at some times than other but no pain at all. I was panicking until I read all of these others comments. It seems strange that with so may of us having the same symptoms, the medical community is clueless about the cause. Go figure!

I am thinking salt causes the difference in size. Iv noticed when I eat heavy salt such as chips etc. the ridge seems to get larger.

After reading all the comments, which well exceed 490, logic would seem to point to some natural process occuring as a result of something else. Such as dehydration or VitD3 deficiciency

I had a indentation appear towards the front and center of the top of my head. It could be traced down to the top of my forehead and it was very tender to touch. I also have been severely Vit D3 deficient. One other thing I considered was the possibility of dehydration.

Have been on Vit D for over a year..I drink plenty if water most days. The feelings going on in my head are very uncomfortable and am sure stress isn't helping. Beginning to get headaches on top of head as well as eye aches and a aches in temple.indent or ridge whatever u call it at crown of my head. Really wish we had answers. This has got me so stressed..
I am going through the same as you and the pain and the feeling is getting horrible!! I think we better look for a neurologist!! I take anti anxiety and it helps a little...

I had the same issue. I had all sorts of tests ran. Nothing ever came of it. I found one post that was helpful.  I wear glasses. I would put my glasses on my head. The poster stated she did the same thing. I made a point of not putting my glasses on my head and after 2 years I can say that the indent that was 1/2 inch deep at times, disappeared in 2 weeks and I have not had the dent since. I would wear the glasses on my head in the same spot but the indent went about 3 inches from that spot. Hope this helps some
