What Causes Indentations In Temples?

I have indentations in my temples. I am recovering from cirrhosis of the liver so I don t always eat a balanced diet. Could there be some nutrient that I am missing that may be causing this. My weight has fluctuated over the past several years could this be the problem?

Thanks for contacting Health care magic.

The indentation on the temples is normal anatomically.

As you mentioned about cirrhosis, weight fluctuations and improper nutrition, you may have lost hairs on the temporal region exposing the normal anatomical feature.

No need to worry. As you will improve the nutrition, the hairs will regrow.
