What Could Be The Reason For Sudden Indentation In The Middle Of The Forehead Considering Having Ulcer And Smoking, Alcohol Addiction?

I all of a sudden noticed a small indentation at the top middle of my forehead just two days ago. I know that it hasn't been there longer because it's very noticeable and I can feel it easily when I run my fingers across my head. It does not hurt but I'm afraid to put too much pressure on it for fear of something worse happening. I am 28, 5'9", and 175 lbs. I do however drink alcohol very regularly and have started smoking again over the last 8 months. I am currently taking lansoprazole for an ulcer as well. Could these bad habits have affected my head in some way?

Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
If you do not have a history of head trauma, then it is probable that the indentation was there but you did not notice it. You really do not need to worry. It is unlikely that it might pose any health problem.
