Soft skull?

Towards the back of my skull, just at the back but on top, before it goes down to the back of my head (hope you know where i mean :P), if I press down the bone is more soft in that area then other areas of my skull...

Is this normal?

Just above the dip where your skull turns into your neck?(sort of levelwith the top of your ears right at the back in the middle?) Then yes.

Why you say that btw? Just curious. :p:

(if it matters I look pretty damn young for my age... as is my development overall)

I don't think any part of your skull should be 'soft'. But at the back of my skull the skin is looser and seems to have a tiny bit more fat than the front, so it kind of gives off that illusion when I press on it.

I might be wrong though.

I'm not a medic, but I recall that babies have a very soft bit at the top yet near back of the skull, and strengthens as they grow.

your paranoid if you think this needs anonymous. If it is really worrying you, then make an appointment with a gp, just to set any fears or doubts to rest (be safe).
