I have an irregular crack in my forehead that goes to the back of my head. Problematic? Normal?

It starts over my right temple, extends up into my hairline [not before it branches off into two cracks] and extends allllll the way to the back of my head. The second crack that branches off disappears somewheres. I don't get massive headaches or anything, but is this normal? I've had other people feel it before, and it freaks them right out so I know that it can't be too-too common...perhaps. Also, you can't tell that the crack's there by just looking [meaning that the skin isn't dragged down into it]. Help?

I don't know either but I strongly suggest you get an x-ray. Did you have any head trauma when you were a child that you could be unaware of?


I ask because I have such a "crack" in my own forehead. It's been there forever as far as I knew. Doctors kept finding it and freaking. AS it turns out, when I was six years old I fell off of a bicycle and fell ten feet onto a pile of bricks. Yes, it split the front of my skull like a pumpkin. Kindly, my Mother never felt the need to mention it and to this day I don't remember it at all. Had I known it would have saved me a lot of money in unnecessary medical bills for cat scans and x-rays for a decades old fracture.

Reply:You might want to get a doctor to look at that. He/she may get you an MRI scan of your head to make sure you're okay.
Reply:By crack you mean...wrinkle or crease...right? I hope?





If you're worried, have a doctor check it out. I'm thinking that it's perfectly normal, though. Skin is a weird thing. It does weird things. But it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong.
Reply:I am not a doctor, and I recommend you see one.





As a baby there are spots on your head where the skull has not formed, called fontanels. These fontanels allow for 2 things. One to let a big head squish a tiny bit to make it though birth and the other is the allow for such rapid growth up to 18 months.





Basically the head is not fully formed and is subject to positional molding. It's possible that you frequently slept on one side as a baby and it caused you to have a tiny bit of a ridge from slight misalignment.





Check this for the location of of the "crack" you mentioned.
