Hello,

Since when you're suffering from indentation on scalp?

Gorham's disease, boils, vitamin a toxicity or prolonged skull pressure etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Please consult your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Regards,
