A member asked:

Help docs! i'm trying to find out what causes the forehead to increase in size other than age and gene factors?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Forehead enlargement: Unless you're talking about the hairline receding, the forehead should not increase in size. There is, however, a condition called acromegaly which comes from a hormone imbalance from the pituitary gland. Get this checked by a pcp if it's true change in the shape of the facial features and hands/feet.
