Suggest Remedy For Skin Indention In Buttock Area

My 6 year old daughter fell off of a deck about 4 feet from the ground and landed directly on her right butt cheek onto the end of a 2x4 board. She got a really bad bruise. It took about 3-4 weeks for the bruise to completely go away. Now, all of a sudden her skin is indented (about a 3 inch indented line) and you can feel a bunch of scar tissue underneath. Will this go away? Should I take her to get it checked out?

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having fracture of coccyx giving rise this indention after some time.
It might have been better if shown to doctor at the time of injury.
Go for x-ray coccyx region.
After report your doctor will give advice accordingly.
Ok and take care.
