Posted on Wed, 17 Aug 2016

Seborrheic dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for asking a question
I'm Dr Chaithanya attending you

Yes I see the Indentation
I also see the surrounding area which is seborrheic dermatitis.

You need to consult a dermatologist, who will prescribe mild steroid for the treatment.
About the indentation, if it is not painful or no other problem, just ignore it. This can be a normal variation

Hope this helps
