A member asked:
I have a friend that is 54, white, female. she has a soft spot like a newborn baby and it is rapidly getting bigger. what would be the cause????????
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hart to say but....: I would arrange for her to see her doctor as soon as it is convenient. This could be a blood collection or infection under the scalp but it could be something much more important.
