hi dear, there are few conditions like morphea and atrophoderma which can cause dent in skin. these are autoimmune diseases and occur due to destruction of subcutaneous fat and the collagen in dermis. i would suggest u to meet dermatologist and get a biopsy done , if necessary. early the diagnosis better ll be outcome.
thank u
