Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The painless indentation on the upper thigh is likely to be due to an injury in the area which has caused a soft tissue damage causing the fibrosis. This is a harmless finding and does not require any treatment.
The falling out of hairs is commonly seen after child birth. Taking adequate supplements of iron, zinc, biotin and folic acid will help in restoration of the hairs. Please do not worry.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
