Hi when I was younger I suffered a blow to the head from a falling golf statue since that day I have noticed a small indent in my skull where the injery took place I wonder if there is any need to worry ithasnteffected me ever but will it cause any problems in the future
Hi. Thanks for writing in Chat Doctor, Skull bone has 2 thick bony layers(inner table and outer table), if 1 layer is fractured or both layers are fractured, but the fragment are minimally displaced then the fracture unites in that position forming a bony indent/bump. A united fracture is almost as strong as the normal bone hence there is nothing to worry. Since you do not have any signs of had injury, I would suggest not to worry about it and leave it alone even for cosmetic purpose (if your prefer) then cover it with hair as surgical intervention for such an elective minor problem has more complication rates than its benefits. Thank you.
