Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
The word dent only doesn't explain much about the kind of lesion you have. I would have been more than happy to help you if I get some more details of the dent.

You have to take Ibuprofen800mg 3 times a day by mouth for pain. Apply Voltaren gel on the painful area. It will soothe you a lot.


Please visit a physician in-office, so as to clearly diagnose the problem. Or send me the pictures of the lesion on head. I will come back to you in no time.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
