Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome
I appreciate your concern
Try to avoid sunlight , apply sunscreen regularly. The indent usually fills up within 6 to 8 months. However if it fails to do so and leaves a cosmetically significant defect then plastic surgery opinion should be sought for a small flap placement to cover for the defect.
wishing you best of health
Thanks
let me know if you have any query
Please consult your doctor before taking any further course of action
