Do YOU have 'gamer head'? Twitch user finds indent on his cranium from wearing ... trends now
A Twitch gamer who shaved his head for charity during a live stream was left in shock when he discovered an indent in his head where his headphones sit.
Streamer Curtoss was in horror after running the buzzer over his skull, revealing a headband-shaped dent caused by wearing his pair too long.
Many other gamers have since come forward to share their 'gamer heads' in solidarity - with one man revealing it appeared after wearing headphones for 14 hours.
However, the indentation is part of experts' prediction of avid gamers' appearance in 20 years, including bloodshot eyes and blistered hands.

In the clip, Curtoss said: 'Dude, the shaver's working like a champ.
'I'm looking at an indent here; this is where my headphones go. I have a f**king headphone indent in my head. What the f**k.
'I thought that was just my hair; I thought just my hair did that.'
The indentation, however, does not form an actual dent in the head - birth injuries and some types of bone tumors typically cause this.
The gamer head resembles marks left on the face after people remove their glasses.
Dedicated players can apply pressure or massage the area when they spot a dent.
Another fix is a hot shower that should help the skin return to normal.
Curtoss' video saw more than 42 million views on Twitter with thousands of comments, many suggesting the streaming switch to earbuds.
One user commented: 'New fear unlocked, Brb checking my head.'
He noticed an indentation on the top of his head while buzzing off his hair.
