I've noticed this weird dent at the top of my skull, like where a baby's soft spot would be, and I'm not sure how long it's been there. It's a little tender if I press on it, but not really painful. I haven't had any serious head injuries, just the usual bumps. Do you think this is something that could just develop over time, or should I be worried about it?

A soft spot in the skull or fontanelle is a normal feature for babies, but unusual for adults. If you are experiencing tenderness in that area, it may be worth getting it checked by a healthcare professional.

Question

I'm experiencing some numbness in my hands that's been going on for the past 2 to 3 months. It seems to happen when I'm doing my regular activities like lifting a bag or sometimes even when I wake up from sleep. I never had this issue before, and it's starting to concern me. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I've noticed a lump on the left side of my head just this week, and I'm not sure if it's something dangerous. Could you help me understand what might be causing it?

Question

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've been feeling really dizzy whenever I'm sitting, standing, or even talking to someone. It's making it tough to do simple things. Plus, I can't seem to look at anything that rotates without feeling worse. I got a brain CT scan done, but it came back normal, and the meds I've tried, like Vertistar, Sturgeon, and Gravol, aren't doing anything for me. Im still struggling. Can you help me figure out what's happening?
