What Does A Slight Dent On The Forehead Indicate?

I have a slight dent on the center of my forehead. It looks like it could be in place of a widows peak but hair does not grow there. I am concerned because it was brought to my atention from others. I have done research but I found nothing. Is this something I should be worried about; or something that is just different to me?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

* Usual cause of a dent over forehead with no hair growth over the same indicates unnoticed or forgotten minor trauma over the spot which may be needed suturing treatment.Many of the old scars do not grow hair over them and this is the key feature to focus here.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
