indentation on front of nose

[neddyflanders1]

I have noticed an indentation above the tip of my nose. The skin looks find but it looks bad because it gives off a shadow. I'm not sure how to get rid of this. I went to a dermatologist and was told to get a biopsy but that would just make it deeper. It may have been caused by the removal of a blackhead but I'm not 100% sure. Is there anyway to fix a slight dent if it was caused by a blackhead removal?

Thanks for your reply. Since the indentation is very slight (unnoticable except under certain light) is there any over the counter creams I can try to puff up the indentation? It seems to me if i could even slightly improve the dent I could live with it that way.

Hello,
These can be indentations caused by blackhead or cyst removal. These can respond to dermal filler augmentation, collagen filling and laser resurfacing. For these treatment options you need to consult a good cosmetologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
