Medical Forum / General / General / May 2005top of scalp has a sinkhole
I'm very concerned about my Mother, she has had unusal hair loss and now has a sinkhole on the top of her scalp near her forehead which is sinking in a bit as well. She refuses to go to the doctor due to fear, does anyone out there know what would cause her scalp to form a sinkhole? She also breaks out with a red rash on her forehead at times...I hope and pray that someone will reply to this message. >I'm very concerned about my Mother, she has had unusal hair loss and now >has a sinkhole on the top of her scalp near her forehead which is sinking >in a bit as well.

You need to convince your mother to see a doctor. The sooner the better. The same thing has come to my mind as well, because what she is experiencing isn't normal and can't be good news. I'm going to take her to the Doctor even if I have to ambush her somehow, I'm so very worried about her. >The same thing has come to my mind as well, because what she is >experiencing isn't normal and can't be good news.

A (plain) skull x-ray is also a good idea, and further studies will probably be warranted afterwards. Not all such "sinkholes" turn out to be cancerous, but they need to be attended to.
