A member asked:

Is it normal to be able to feel ridges in front of adult head bone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, but no abnormal: Prominent forehead with larger than normal brow ridge is known as frontal bossing, but is not significant. While it is NOT normal, it is NOT significant for any illness.
