What Do Indentations In The Scalp Indicate?

I have 2 long indentations in my scalp. The first one that showed up is about 1 and a half inches long and about 1/4 inch wide. It starts right below my hairline on my forehead and then continues back. The 2nd one is smaller but situated about 1/2 inch from the first one. They occasionally itch butt other wise nothing else.
