Is the Flat Spot On My Head Causing Migraines?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello. I have a flat spot located at the parietal area. It is very noticeable to my hairstylists and although it also is not appealing cosmetically I would like to get this looked at by someone as I believe it could be a cause of my migraines. Does your office have the ability to a virtual approx. 30 minute free consultation via Zoom meeting? Is it possible for my severe flat spot on my head to be causing migraines?

A:I am not aware of any association between a flat spot in the skull and migraines. Augmentation of such areas is done for cosmetic purposes.
