How long does it take to heal a skull fracture?
Skull fractures take a few months to heal. When fracturing the skull the healing process takes a lot longer than any other fracture, like a fracture in the wrist or foot. Because of how much was damage and depending on the area of the fracture and the extent of the damage, the healing process could take up to a year, and in some cases even longer. Once you fracture your skull the healing process also includes the healing of the brain itself. You can't just fracture the skull and get on with your life. Depending on the force that fractured your skull you can end up with memory loss, brain damage, and other nerve problems.
What causes dents and ridges in the older human skull?
Dents in the older human skull can be caused by a decrease in bone density due to conditions like osteoporosis. Ridging on the skull can result from the natural process of bone remodeling, where bone is either resorbed or deposited. Additionally, external factors such as injury or trauma can also lead to dents and ridges in the skull over time.

Why have I not been able to smell or taste anything for at least 7days?
Without assessing you, it is hard to say. However, if you have had any sinus congestion, a runny nose, or some other similar upper airway symptom, your ability to smell/taste may be diminished. (Generally the loss of taste follows a loss of smell, as smell contributes significantly to taste.) There are other causes, such as problems with the cranial nerves. It this loss of smell and taste persists, you should be evaluated by a health care professional.
