Because while we may have well trained doctors, most "clinics" we call "hospitals" in Nigeria have less than a hundredth of the medical equipment hospitals should have.

Research this Cutis verticis gyrata. That's what you have.

It looks disfiguring but usually not a serious issue, so usually benign.

Use a face cap or a fitting cap to avoid prying eyes
Good scalp hygiene
Definitively a plastic surgery would be the treatment, but I do not see any plastic surgeon in Nigeria being interested.

All the best and goodspeed in your journey with this

The folds and ridges, that give the appearance of a brain on top of the head, is an indication of an underlying disease: cutis verticis gyrata (CVG). The rare disease causes a thickening of the skin on the top of the head which leads to the curves and folds of the scalp.There is no cure for CVG. Even with applied pressure, the soft and pliant scalp folds cannot be permanently flattened away. Nor are there any medications that will reduce the size or quantity of these soft, spongy wrinkles. The only option to remove the skin folds permanently involves surgery.
You're very intelligent.

Brain scan bawo. No put unnecessary fear for op mind.

What you have is known as primary Curtis verticis gyrata and is non-life threatening but will surely give you unwarranted looks. It can be corrected by surgery though.
Na lie, the bones of the head is shrinking ona very slow motion.
If you don't know, you should know now, that it's life threatening.

Why is everybody calling this rare condition na?

Something I see a lot with my Ibo friends… especially those that hawked puff puff at some point in their life. I usually think it’s the hawking effect, never knew it was a medical condition.

That's all..

Re: Help!! My Scalp Is Folding And Getting Heavy by GGirll: 5:12pm On Sep 06, 2021
Its a rare condition called Cutis verticis gyrata CVG....you can see a specialist as this is secondary stage and isn't that bad but you can take care of your scalp in terms of hygyne to avoid infection....d only remedy for now is surgery and even that does not really give 100% relief but you will be fine....the worst would have been if you were born with it OK, God heal n help you dear don't be afraid just have faith n be strong OK.

People wey dey get this type of head dey always get money.

This one na sign say you go get money for future.
My thoughts exactly. Most people wey dey carry "Extra Meat" for head, Dem dey get money wella Wella. I remember one of our neighbor that year for Ajegunle, omo!!! If you see this man head, the meat wey dey dia plenty pass full grown cow.

Regarding the OP's case, as e be say e dey cause discomfort and headache for am, he needs to see a specialist. If money dey na to travel out for proper medical attention. Our doctor's here Dem dey use ANGER take attend to patients, they are not happy and abeg no ask me who be the cause of their unhappiness, if I say "BU" Lalasticlala say "HA" anybody wey add "RI" na the person Sabi
