Suggest Treatment For Indent On Forehead
Hi their, I have a indent on my forehead and it really bothers me. It appeared shortly after I was born, as a strawberry mark which was raised outwards from my forehead. When the mark disappeared it left me with a dent in my head :( how can I ever get rid of this.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The dent would be due to the formation of scar tissue from the mark that was previously present.
Scar tissue can cause the pulling of surrounding skin causing a dent to form.
Scar tissue may not resolve on its own in many cases and it can potentially take a very long period of time.
You may need to see a dermatologist to see if there are any non invasive treatments that may help.
I hope this helps
