I got another New Helmet!

Yes, easily fixed with a tablespoon as EdMat says. Give it a try. You'll be impressed.

There are two Cycle Gear stores within an hour drive of my house. They both have a large assortment of helmets you can try on. They have locations all over the U.S.

I used a baseball on mine.

Looks like you've got some rather warm (ok, so it's going to be hot depending on where you are) weather in SoCal. Based on past experience, I'd say get out and ride. Years ago, I purchased a new helmet a few weeks ahead of a 3 week trip. Wore it on my daily commute (20-30 mins each way) for a couple of those weeks to break it in. Also spent some time with it on my noggin while sitting at my computer at home each evening. It was comfortable from the start but I figured those steps would have gotten in broken in even more. But an hour down the road on the first day of my trip, I was in pain and wondering what the heck I was going to do to avoid being miserable for three weeks. I pressed on and a few more hours of heat (both from my head and the outdoor temp) apparently did the trick. I comfortably wore that helmet for many miles over the next 4 or 5 years.

That's when you bring out the tablespoon and with a soft touch, start rubbing.

I hope you mean 'start rubbing the helmet liner wherever the hot spot/pain in the forehead develops, in order to relieve the pressure on said forehead a little'!!
