Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Can you please attach a photo of it so I can give more precise answer?
Diet the indentation hurts? Was there any injury in this area? Do you feel any lump in this area?
Buttock indentation can be a symptom of some inflammation in this area, cyst creation or ingrown hair. In case of inflammation there should be redness, hardness and pain in this area.
Ingrown hair can cause indentation only.
In all cases it is worth to start with soft tissues ultrasound. This should give some information about what is this.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
