A member asked:
Should i be able to feel the bones in my skull? in behind my ears, for example? how exactly does your skull change during puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Not much.: Skull bones are close to skin, so yes you should be able to feel the outside of most of the bones of the skull. It should not change much after young childhood, except maybe grow a bit larger.
