How To Treat A Dent Left By A Bruise?
I had a big bruise 6 months back and it didn t heal till about 3 months later during that period of time of healing I had a habit of pressing on the bruise and it will leave a dent at the spot I pressed. After when the bruised have healed. The area would hurt if there was pressure applied there and there s a dent there not really visible but when you run the finger through the spot you can feel a dent. So should I be worried?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
From your description, this dent should not be the reason to concern. Its hard to tell how will it act, not being able to see it. But this dent can be a kind of scar left by the injury. It is possible that if you leave it alone, it will somehow become less noticeable. You may try to apply scar gel.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
