What Causes An Indentation On The Forehead After An Injury?
I hit my forehead this morning while getting into my car. It was very painful and stunned me initially. There is now a dented / flat spot where I hit it and it is very tender to the touch. No other symptoms (no dizziness, nausea, etc.). I am icing the area periodically. Any other advice?
