A member asked:
Please tell me, could you feel a brain abscess on the skull?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain symptoms: If one were to get an infection in the scalp and that infection was to erode through the skull and into the brain, one would be able to theoretically feel that. In general when one gets a brain abscess they present with headache or seizure.
