Look up phrenology: All skulls have slightly different shapes and combinations of bumps and valleys. The study of these differences and their relation to our character, heath, intellect, morality, criminality, etc, called phrenology was popular in the 1800's. At your age you notice things that you ignored before. That doesn't make them abnormal. If you have to think about whether something hurts or not, it doesn't.
