Can hitting yourself in the head a lot cause damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Generally hitting yourself in the head is discouraged. Repeated minor trauma may eventually add up to major deficit. AND - anywhere along the line a seemingly minor trauma may have disastrous consequences. This is why many sports require head wear.
