Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
I would explain that this small dent is related to the changes in bone structure (also called bone remodulation), due to steroid replacement therapy.
It does not indicate any serious medical condition!
I would just recommend checking calcium and vitamin D plasma levels.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
