A member asked:

I have a elevated ridge on the top of the back of my skull. my ocd makes me sometimes press on this irregularity when im stressed. can this cause brain damage? i feel a numb sensation after pressing on it but it could be from scratching the scalp?

Brain Damage, No: Human skulls are quite thick, as they should be. Pressing on your scalp will not cause brain damage.
