Could Concerta Cause Slight Indentation With Raised Spot On Forehead?

I awoke 4 hours ago and found a round indentation, approx 1/2 diameter on my forehead. There is a very slight darkening of the skin in the indentation, and a very slight (3/32 ) raised spot in the center of the indentation. Approx. 1 higher there s a small painless red bump. All of this is painless. The only thing that s changed for me lately is that I started taking concerta (today is day 3).

Hello,

Concerta (methylphenidate) is a stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. Sometimes it's use is associated with bruising or bleeding. Bruising seems the indetion on your forehead. Check out with your caring doctor to change therapy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
