Had Interferon Treatment. Had Many Side Effects, Indentation. Feel It Is Growing. Which Doctor Should Be Consulted?

I have the same indentation just below my hairline in the middle of my forehead as the lady that posted below me. I had interferon treatment for a year and had many really bad side effects from the medication. After the treatment I noticed the indentation. It looks slightly wider in the last 3 years, But I'm not positive of it's growth. Is this common in a 55 year old woman? What kind of doctor would be considered a specialist in matters of this sort?

Hi there ~

I understand your concern. I believe that the indentation is not probably due to the interferon treatment. However since you feel like it is growing, I would like you to go to your doctor who can order an imaging study to make sure you do not have something bad going on and to allay your anxiety. The doctor will refer you to the appropriate specialist otherwise.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
