Dent in baby head

Hello,

This Is my first post on here and was wondering if anyone could relate.

My 6 month old has a pretty significant dent in his head. The only way I could describe it is as if there’s a scoop in the back of his head and is quite bumpy. The doctor told me at 6 weeks that his head has fused from the back quite early.

He’s been referred to the children’s hospital but that’s a 6 month waiting list and I’m worried about his development. I’ve been looking into head helmets but not sure about its success.

Does anyone else have a similar story and can tell me how their baby’s head turned out?

I’ve attached a photo as reference :)
