CW: Freaking out, medical advice. :boost_ok:​ 

Hey, medic side of Masto:

Are suddenly noticed flat spots on the back of the skull something to be concerned about? There's an area on the back of my cranium that feels dented in and I'm feeling very fucking scared.

@kelseyhusky I Am Not A Doctor(TM) of course, but I checked the back of my own skull immediately upon reading that, and found an indentation that I could VERY EASILY IMAGINE freaking me out if I discovered it without being prepared for it. I have a strong hunch that's standard skull design and is just where some plates meet. I did some cursory Googling as well, and the only mentions of "flat spots on skull" invariably pertained to infant development so I think you're probably in the clear. <3

@kelseyhusky (Note that one of the reasons I was so swift to reply to this is because I DO THIS TO MYSELF ALL THE TIME so I really sympathize. <3 )

@zebratron2084 Thank you. It was a very big shock to just suddenly feel something that i couldn't remember feeling before. I've taken a lot of shots to the dome over 36 years of uptime.
