A member asked:

Is it possible for your skull to change shape, get dents, or half of face and skull to get skinnier bone wise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unexpected: At your age, it would be very unusual to experience spontaneous changes in skull shape in absence of a pituitary or hormonal disorder. If you are convinced this needs attention, have your doctor get some images, and go from there.
