Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. Dr. Pavan. I have two questions if you don t mind. Today, I took a nap and when I went to take a shower, I noticed a dark area on my left side of the face. It is a dent which is causing a shadow. I thought, I was mistaken, until I felt with my fingers. So, that has me concerned. Second question. I have a spot on my right side of my face that was a dark pea size looking scar. Over time is just seem to get darker so, I peeled some of the skin off and trying to get rid of the brown colored skin (thinking it s dead skin that needs to be taken off) I ve had acne there before and that s what originally caused the brown spot. The area is a bit bigger than the original brown spot. Any advice on what to do? Thanks.

What Does An Indentation On The Face Indicate?
Hello, It is difficult to identify indentation on scar tissue. Yes, injury or impact may lead to indentation. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what is cause for it. It may be keloid or osteoporosis or Paget s disease or hyperparathyroidism etc. Please consult your dermatologist/neuro physician they will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Penchila Prasad Kandikattu , Internal Medicine Specialist
