Wondering if this is possible?

Is it possible for the skull to change shape on a daily basis? Specifically in back? Seems to be thinning/getting flatter? Is this possible or just made up in my mind and would a doctor notice if their was any thinning of the skull on a cat scan?

Possible
The short answer is, “No.” the shape and thickness of the skull is genetically determined. Techniques of physical manipulation begun in early childhood while the skull is still growing and developing can alter the shape of the adult skull considerably.
