Patient: i have a small dent located to the left of the crown on my head. it has been there for approximately a month and has gotten deaper/bigger. it is sensitive. I had an xray and the nurse practitioner told me that the X ray showed no abnormal lesions. I did Have some cortisone injections into what were some ingrown hairs around the same area. also some other information I recently in the past 2 months have started a very low carb diet I also have Addison s disease and take replacement steroids daily Doctor: Hello!Welcome on Healthcaremagic!I would explain that this small dent is related to the changes in bone structure (also called bone remodulation), due to steroid replacement therapy. It does not indicate any serious medical condition!I would just recommend checking calcium and vitamin D plasma levels. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
