Can external pressure deform the skull?

My question is: is it possible that long-term pressure, such as having your head pushed against a wall for a relatively long period of time, or short-term pressure, like headbutts in association football, cause your skull to deform? If so, does this depend according to the person, i.e.is it more likely to happen if you have weak bones, due to, for example, calcium deficiency?Can external pressure deform the skull?
Only very quick and forceful pressure can deform the skull of an adult (think baseball bat).Can external pressure deform the skull?
Yeah the skull can be deformed, but I doubt whatever it is you're going through at football practice is going to do it to you.



It's been done on purpose throughout history, usually to infants (because their skulls are relatively soft and pliable at that age), usually by tightly binding the skull with fabric for long periods of time.



I suppose people with bone softening diseases might be more viable candidates for this kind of cosmetic modification.



But as for you, leaning on a wall by your forehead, or giving headbutts, no that's not likely to do anything.



The headbutts might get you a concussion and brain damage, if that's anything to worry about.

weak bones are uasually be easily broken or deformed as it has no too much strength to combat pressures . the skull is a part of the skeletal system and this bones are protecdting our brains , but god has given too much strenth to this part as it will protect our mind . our responsibility is to take care for it by taking proper diet and protecting it against outside force.
Not after adulthood. The bones can be deformed in infancy and many tribes of people used to do that quite a bit.
