A member asked:

My 16 months niece gets dents in her head after bumping it. what specialty of a doctor can we see to have these dents evaluated? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Start with her doc: Her doc can do the primary evaluation with an x-ray and should know who in your region would be able to help. The issue of a soft skull is often metabolic & require one type of doc while a fracture would be handled by someone else.
