Question : I just noticed that I have a dent/dip in my lower stomach, right above my pubic hair. What could this be? I thought I was pregnant, but my period arrived two days early, so I'm not.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A small dip in the lower abdomen could be due to a scar in the area due to a pimple or infected gland. Inner fibrous band may also cause such a dent. This is a normal physiological variation and is not indicative of any pathology. Please do not worry.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
