Brief Answer:
Hello dear. Only the mammogram can provide an answer

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. First of all please do not get afraid. The details that you have provided do not match with that of a cancerous growth in breast. However, only a physical examination along with a mammogram can solve the issue definitely.

If there is no definite lump along with no change is size, shape of breast, no nipple position change or inversion of nipple and no discharge, then it is very unlikely to have a cancer of breast. Rest will be provided by a mammogram.

You can upload an image of the indent line if you wish too so that I can throw more light on this issue.

Thanks and regards
