I have had a a few lumps/ dips on my scalp. what could this be? could it be my fontenelle?

Many possibilities.: All scalps have a few lumps and dips, which are normal - but the lumps could be pilar cysts (which are not dangerous), or they could be one of several other things. Let a dermatologist have a look at them.
