A member asked:

Thirty five yr old female. experiencing pain in the top of head where soft spot was, head is also flat in spot/hair loss. should i see my pcp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good idea: The head discomfort may well be scalp and not skull or brain related.Muscle contraction tension type headache is also a possibility. Get examined. There may be a dermatological disorder as another possibility.
