What Does Dark Depression On Forehead Indicate?

Hi doctor, I have this small dark colored depression on the right side of my forehead, just above the eyebrow. It developed when I was 20 years old, I didn t have it before that, I m 24 years old now. It hasnt gone away nor it has become darker. Please advice something. Thanks & Regards.

Here you have symptoms like dark depression just above your eyebrow on right side of your forehead.
And as per your explanation I understand it is not increasing in terms of color or the area where it is. Here I suggest if there is no pain and inflamation (redness of surrounding skin ) then nothing to worry. You can visit a good dermatologist for proper examination and treatment for the dark depression. You may need to go for some skin test to rule out there is nothing major problem with skin and then doctor will suggest you either conservative management with ointment and medication or it can be surgical to correct the depression and color of skin.

Here I have given you generalise guideline since the physical examination is not possible and I am not able to check the depth of depression. As well cause of depression is also unknown.
I suggest to visit a dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon for further discussion and planing of treatment.

I am sure this must be useful for you. Take care.
