How To Cure A Dent & Damaged Scar Tissue On The Forehead?

A beam fell on my forehead 3 years ago and although there was no scarring or bleeding and I was fine, I now have a small dent which annoys me. I alway think this dent is caused by a broken or fracture or indented skull, or is it damaged scar tissue that as left a dent?

You are unlikely to have this dent because of that accident especially if as you say, "...I was fine..." If you are interested to know if any fracture may have occurred then, a CT of the skull itself may show something of a bony scar even up to 3 years ago...on the other it may not. I don't think I would risk the exposure to the fairly high dose of radiation you would get in the machine just for that knowledge if everything is essentially fine. The skull is full of bumps that most people never find throughout their entire lives. Please click THANK YOU/rate a 5 STAR encounter and write me at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi with more questions.
