Well Neil Twentyman called them; suture periostitis - but then added "not sure what causes it, nor what fixes it - have you googled it?"
This is the only thing I found on google; Suture periostitis is a condition similar to "splints" in the legs. It is where there is a lot of bony inflammation along the suture lines of the nasofrontal region. The suture lines are the borders of the individual bones of the skull. If these become traumatised, twisted etc, then bony reaction and thickening occurs along them. Thus an appearance similar to big head and blunt trauma will result. Here, x-rays can help to confirm the diagnosis.
And as there is no treatment - not much point getting x-rays!
Here's a picture taken this week - as you can see moved towards the right eye, left side slightly improved.
