A member asked:

I've just discovered a new indentation in my skull. for the past few weeks i've had tingling and itching along both ears. could thus be serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely.: All skulls have dents and bulges. In fact, a pseudoscience popular in the 1800s called phrenology claimed to be able to diagnose illnesses from those irregularities. Your indentation has probably been there all along, but if you're worried about it, let your doctor check it out.
