Relax: You just described it. If it changes it will be larger, change shape and color.

Question 2

my 23 year old son's forehead and head (skull shape) appear to have changed shape in the past year. in his teens he had a tbi. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Change in head shape: This is abnormal.  Should be checked by family doctor.

Question 3

can you twist or change the position or shape of forehead or facial features/face with hands.  someone twisted the top of head with hands and paranoid?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: As soon as the hands go away, the face pops back into its original shape. Kids do this all the time... it's fun. For older kids and adults, if there is facial distortion due to actitivities like martial arts classes, the face returns to its normal shape after any swelling or bruising resolves... but recurrent or severe sports injuries can lead to permanent changes.

i rest my head on the same spot for a long time everyday, since it rests on the same spot everyday can with time change the shape of my head or skin?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Unlikely, but if you apply pressure of some type that could change head shape somewhat

Question 5

can headphones dent your head?can it change your head shape and affect your head skull?

Accepted Answer

: If tight will squeeze soft tissue and leave temporary reversible indentation, but there will be no permanent "dent", and no change in skull affecting head "shape".

Question 6

is it possible to head change its shape at age of 18?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: The skull does not ordinarily change its shape at age 18, so the head seldom changes shape.  The soft tissue of the head (muscles, fat, etc.) may change, of course.  The disease acromegaly can cause change in the shape of the skull.

Question 7

can your back/ back of the head get "disfigured" (change in shape) if you are laying down in bed too much?

Accepted Answer

Only as a baby: Once your skull fuses, which is essentially done by two years of age, this problem should not occur.

Question 8

at what age does the shape of a person's head stop changing? can it change in adulthood? someone just pointed out back of my head is higher than front

Accepted Answer

Yes.....: with PAGET's disease, a painful condition in which inflammation in the bone softens it, the shape changes. Especially skull. This is a reason for evaluation. It can cause weakened bones. It is VERY easily treated. Other causes of thin bones like lack of vitamin D, calcium, bone infection, bone tumor, abnormality of the hormones controlling mineral level are also possible and treatable.

Question 9

i have problem with back and im sleeping on right side of body for 3 year is it possible that my skull shape is changed i feel like head steam is weak?

Accepted Answer

No: At your age your skull will not change shape.

Question 10

doc said vit d deficiency & abnormal hormones can cause head shape to change. can it cause the back of head to become higher than the front in adults?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: this would  require very soft bones indeed. A bone hromone problem taht severe would cause a lot of other problems.
On the other hand PAGET'S disease causes more localized bone preoblmes often mainly in the head area.
