Brief Answer:
Indentation in your forehead

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned about finding an indentation in your forehead. This is not unusual and is seen after trauma and spontaneously . I would not be concerned about the indentation as this is common and of no clinical significance.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions

Brief Answer:
sensitivity to lesion scalp

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for returning to HCM with your question. the area is also sensitivity to touch and getting gradually larger. This could be a small infection under the skin or it could be a sebaceous cyst. These are benign conditions but to optimize your recovery I would recommend that you see your medical provider. you may need to be on antibiotics if it is an infection. If it is a sebaceous cyst there is very little we can do other than remove the cyst but that would leave you with a scar.

Brief Answer:
trauma

Detailed Answer:
The trauma you had 10 months ago if it caused a bruise in the same place as the indentation then that is the cause of your indentation
