I hit the top part of my head 4 weeks ago. I did not lose consc or bleed. There was some redness and swelling for about three days. After the swelling went away and I could feel up there, I felt a small dent in my head, the size of a dime. I have worked and walked and cleaned and garden, washed cars etc since that time. Dont feel dizzy or sick or any pain. But, there is a small dent. Could this just be damage to my scalp maybe? Seems to be less of a dent as the days go by.
Hi, As narrated by you, head trauma with some heavy object or protruded part may lead to localized depressed fracture of skull bone and such a defect may not produce many symptoms. This type of defect may only be present as dent while palpating. But for relief such a fracture usually doesn't require ant treatment or surgery. If you are very concerned then you may go for plain CT head with Bone window to look for any fracture. Hope you find my advice useful wishing you good health
