This site has been helpful and I really appreciate all the input, I was told by an RN that my parallel dents are caused by dehydration. Here is another taught to ponder if indeed it is caused by dehydration, and I know this is not the best news for us coffee drinkers but caffeine , the wonderful pick me up could actually be the culprit , I started coffee late in life and now i'm hooked, if I find the strength to stop this wonderful habit I will report back with my findings. I wish everyone a very blessed, peace filled Christmas. I like the idea that finally at age 47 I am a groovy person and have many denthead friends.

Im 34 and had an itchy scalp- as i massaged some conditioner in my head i noticed a ridge between the frontal and pareital bones. So turns out I think many of you are right! Between aging and the sutures changing, the muscles, dehydration & stress, and yes wearing sunglasses on your head all seem to be plausible answers. I really dont think we're dealing with diseases- assuming its just the one right on top of your head. I do expeience ringing in the ears (tinutus), but that is inner ear and potentially sinus related. I agree on the masuses suggestion about scalp massages- theres nothing quite like it to relax. I do feel better that you all wrote so I could compare my thinking! So ive read all the blogs and looked up stuff on the brain.

I noticed them about 9 months ago. They are painless, the one on the left is a little more sunken than the one on the right. I showed them to my Internist and she wanted me to have a skull series. The lab work she did was for the parathyroid glands and she also did an ionized calcium level. They were all normal. I also have an autoimmune disease called Still's Disease (adult-onset rheumatoid arthritis). The lab work my doctor did was to see if I have Paget's disease of the bone. Right now, I am holding off on getting the skull series. I surely do not need any more CAT scans and X-rays. I am 64 years old. I saw someone post that they thought they got the indentations from wearing their sunglasses on top of their head. I have been doing that with reading glasses ever since I had my cataracts removed 2 years ago and needed reading glasses. I will stop wearing the glasses like that and see if it makes a difference.

I Had to have brain surgeries, and so I simply asked the surgeons, what gives with my funky vertically ridged skull? No reply, not even an I do not know from any of them, nor the other "specialists"... it was as if I were talking to the room walls. There is something going on, and I think we are test subjects of genetic mutations.. I never got all my childhood shots, I Screamed the needles had poison in them to kill me. So Momma never made me take the shots ever again, and I was a child who was Not afraid of getting vaccinated, until that day. and now it is like I have some sort of later-developing alien skull, and it ? (mutates?) from very tenderly soft until it becomes boney hard again, like a lobster , gets' its' newer soft shell, and then in time that shell hardens. Something is Definately Wrong, because Every time I have asked for another surgery, ( hysterectomy), all I get is...We will look and see what is happening to you ,but only for reasons of updates on your condition. That is Not Good to hear from Every doctor, and when I asked about my then hemmoraging, they replied , we will keep an eye on it, and study it , from time to time. Now I still have my monthly Daily... since 32 years of age, and all they will offer me at age 59... lol... is we will study it, and look at it, but no surgeries, to remove the grape-cluster cysts, nor your female organs. Glad I found this site... as far as I can think.. it must be some sort of vaccinations with genetic DNA , .... and we are test subjects, like lab rats!!

Not only do I have the two parallel dents on the top of my head, I have the "unicorn bump." I have a theory, that you should check out for yourself and see if it seems right. It may seem wacky, but....how much wackier than the fact that my skull has changed shape? Try googlins "ascension symptoms" and that should get you started. There are people who believe (and I have become one of them just in the last year, due to some pretty amazing experiences, synchronicities, etc.), that believe that human beings are evolving. I have only found one place that talks about bones changing, but there is a lot of info on physiological changes and changes in our DNA. One of the major signs is headaches (of which I am an expert). Another thing that they say is you feel sick but you're not (like sometimes you feel like it's the flu but not really). (I noticed many of you said you are otherwise perfectly healthy.) Trust your instincts, this is one of those things where you just need to use your intuition. But worth a shot, right? I'll be really interested to see if anyone thinks this might apply to them.

My identical twin and I both have the same problem but have yet to find anyone else with it. We each have two indents equally spaced on the back of our skulls, in line with the middle of our ears and about an inch wide, a quarter of an inch high, and one on each side of the head. The real problem is that after smiling for a long time or laughing too much (or sometimes in my case, just talking a lot), these indents grow really deep and become extremely painful to the point where we both grab at the backs of our heads and lay our hands over the indentations. Has anyone else experienced this before? Thanks for any help at all! Never found an answer before and have never seen a doctor. Hi everyone,

Its also VERY itchy, especially at night. I have had a CT scan, a spinal tap, an MRI, and every blood test (thyroid, blood cell counts, vitamin levels, etc, etc) that all came back normal so I guess I really dont have any answers either BUT I can say that the indent came at the same time as a few other things that are going on so maybe someone else can relate to the other issues and find a relationship between the two. The first thing is: Ive started having really bad neck and upper back pain so I went and had xrays done and I have a whiplash type injury to my neck which Im not sure how I got but it definitely hurts and is causing major headaches. I know the headaches are related to the neck/back pain bc when the pain eases the headaches also ease up. I also think this has cause some upper arm pain, jaw pain and eyesight issues, muscle weakness...I have no clue if this could have ANYTHING at all to do with the indentation but I heard that a pinched nerve may cause these..so Im wondering If maybe I have a pinched nerve (I guess thats just another test to add to my list) The second thing is the fact that I just got back on the depo shot which causes bone loss...I was on it for 4 years before and I had to get off of it because I tested positive for Osteo-penia which is Pre-osteoporosis....I just had my first child 3 months ago and the doctor assured me that my body had time to recover from being on it before and that it would be fine for me to get back on it...since I took the first shot, I have had major complications with my period and so I am not staying on the depo and will not have the second shot. Not sure if this played into the indentation but as far as bone loss goes, it makes sense...but my calcium test came back normal so I know im not lacking on that. The third thing is what someone had already mentioned: stressed/anxiety...I have always had high anxiety but ever since my back and neck pain started, I became so tired and weak that I got very depressed and stressed out...worried for my life. It was after that started that I noticed the indentation so Im wondering if the stress does have something to do with it?? I have been able to relax more now that I have had all the testing done but still worried. If I had to make my best guess I would say it has something to do with my neck and back pain...maybe a pinched nerve causing this (although I dont know how that would be)...The spot is itchy like I said, sometimes I feel pain coming from it but more just an umcomfortable feeling rather than pain..especially if something is on it like my headset at work or if my hair is pulled up. Ive also noticed that my whole scalp is more itchy than usual (not just that spot but more that spot than anywhere else) and my scalp is also EXTRA sensitive...if I have my hair in a hair band, when I take it out, it is so sore. I know these are all so random..but maybe if someone else can relate to any of these other symptoms..we can figure something out!!!

I came here too, because I have what I call "grooves" in the front of my scalp. I have had mine for years, I am in my early 40's. For those of you adults who are only "groovy" no dents or bumps or with any other symptoms mentioned in these posts - I would like to put in my two cents on this. Now I am a massage practitioner and since I only read through posts up to the late summer of 2008, and am not sure if someone has already provided this thought, here goes.... Something I was unable to find in those posts was information regarding the soft tissue of the scalp. Between the skin and the skull is soft tissue. Now our scalp and face are covered in a layer of muscle along with a sinuous sheath and some other membranous tissue. First, go to Google (or whichever) and type in images for 'muscles of the head and face'. Look at the patterns of the muscle tissue. Now there are areas where the pink or red tissue (muscle) connects to the white (sinuous or connective) tissue (which is not as pliable). Now, first consider if we do not hydrate there will be swelling before the sunken-ness of dehydration. Our bodies will try to store water and thus we have an apearance of full-ness. Consider too that if we do not eat a healthy diet and consume whole foods, we can experience several events of swelling off an on (which could cause some temporary discomfort). When looking at the patterns, notice the 'V' shape of the muscle pattern in the front of the head - is this what you think you feel? I beieve these are the 'grooves' I feel. Any place where the soft, thicker muscle tissue meets up with the sinuous tissue or a bony prominence (skull bones), there will be a change in the landscape - so to speak. The muscles tissue stops, the area sinks down and then rises up again where the next area of muscle or other soft tissue exists. In times of stress - or better the extreme of anxieties, we can experience a constant state of the 'fight or flight' syndrome. This will keep our muscles in the 'tense' state for prolonged periods of time. Which can cause them to seem more prominent - think of a constant flexed bicep muscle. So find a few minutes a day of your own to relax - close your eyes, rub your head, drink some water, have a snack and breathe. It is a start to relaxing those muscles. Now all this speculation is for adults - not children or as I mentioned above, not for people with symptoms - just for people who feel 'grooves.' So now you can research more such as how after the age of 30, adults lose approximately three to eight percent of their muscle mass every 10 years. Now think how much more prominent those lower areas between the muscles will feel. Which could explain why when we are younger and fuller, we do not notice the 'grooves' as much. A significant decrease in adipose (fat) tissue can also make these areas feel more prominent. Every single one of us will have variances in the muscle patterns of our head and face attributable to genetics, gender, culture, and various injuries that may have occurred previously. I believe it is a matter of coincidence that our glasses happen to fit into the groove pattern - however, I will not discount that explanation. I have anxieties, stress, hypothyroidism, have worn reading glasses for almost a year, and a daughter that is almost three. I believe stress could be the underlying cause. Which, if you are not eating a healthy diet, getting enough rest, or water, exercise, etc.,...can all compound the issue of prominence in these soft tissue areas. Now all this said, I will never dissuade anyone from the piece of mind in consulting with a physician/provider. One last note to consider, as adults aging, we start to find time to think of our overall state of health and we may worry and thus discover things about ourselves that we may have been having too much fun in our younger years to have noticed. So relax, consult your physician to ease your concern, and schedule a facial and scalp massage - if you get these regularly, you may notice a difference, maybe feel less 'groovy'! Take care, and hope this was helpful. Okay, I am going to take a stab at this. I came here too, because I have what I call “grooves” in the front of my scalp.

Doctor sent me for a ct scan, awaiting results. She did tell me she sees it often and it is usally "normal". I do have chronic headaches, kidney issues, hypothyroidism, and most recently osteoporosis. Can't wait for the outcome of this. Found my dent about a week ago.
