Hi,

Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, there aren't indents. For an indent, the bone has to be changed and this is NOT COMMON. So, good question.

Paget's disease of bone, which is highly treatable causes pain, bone problems ESPECIALLY on the forehead, and a lot of bone and joint problems everywhere else.

ALso, bone mineral problems can affect bone. Fluid pills might pull minerals out of bones. The forehead would not be especially effected but all the bones would be and deformity, pain, falling apart.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
