Hi, one side of my skull is larger than the other, particularly my mastoid bone and the region around that, i don't have medical conditions that i know of but i just recently noticed this. what could it be and what should i do?

You should see your doctor to have this evaluated. An MRI can be obtained to find out what would be causing this area to be bigger on one side. Once a diagnosis is made, the correct doctor can be consulted and treatment rendered, if needed. Good luck to you!
