My Mom have been a nurse over 35 years & Im 26 yrs old & she said she noticed my frontal lobe/ forehead is getting larger & changing shape for the past year and that she finds this to be very abnormal because Ive never done this before & I should go to the doctor & get this checked out. I told her Im growing so I will be changing. And she said not your forehead & wants me to get it checked out because i take a nap every evening when I get off of work & on the weekends. I think she is reading too much into it. what do you think?
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Change in size and shape of forehead is abnormal at this age group. It does not happen usually. It happens in young age when we are growing. After 16-18 years, it is abnormal. Frontal lobe is a part of brain and cannot be seen from outside. Maybe she meant frontal bone. If that's the case, another reason maybe loss of your hair. If you are losing hair it may result in receding hairline and will appear as enlarged forehead. I don't think it is a cause for worry. You can relax and not worry about it. If you are losing hair then you should worry about it and get treated for it accordingly. Hope it sorts your problem
