Hy.. My 1 year 6 months fell and hit the toilet corner and now has a dent on his forehead which shows so much and so bad when he cries and frowns and even smile, the dent has been here for a week. When you touch it it is curved inwards. I want to know if the dent will dissappear, or maybe heal abit and not show too much and when should I expect changes to this dent. It is worrying me I feel bad for this.

As an adult I fainted and hit my head in something . For me it's permanent , it does however only really show up if I'm a little dehydrated or first thing in the morning.

So according to you did it heal a bit or still the same?

It never broke the skin so no scaring or anything . I just think it sort of dented the flesh ( hate that word - shudder ) and that never grew back / closed up .

Hey! I’m currently experiencing this. I see it’s been a little over a year now so wanted to check in and see if it ever went away? Thanks in advance!

My then four year old had this and he still has what I would call a dimple on his upper cheek bone. I did take him to a surgeon specialist who said it would look less prominent with time but would always be there. He's 9 now and is still there but I'm used to it now.
