Question : Hi I have a slight indentation on my right cheek which is barely noticeable although there is a faint discoloration almost in the shape of a V or heart shape. When I use a graphics program and manipulate the contrast to coloration it is significantly noticeable.

Seborrheic dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for asking a question
I'm Dr Chaithanya attending you

Yes I see the Indentation
I also see the surrounding area which is seborrheic dermatitis.

You need to consult a dermatologist, who will prescribe mild steroid for the treatment.
About the indentation, if it is not painful or no other problem, just ignore it. This can be a normal variation

Hope this helps
