A member asked:
I have a small circle indentation in the middle of my chest. like when you take a hairband off your wrist. but i've had it for about a year. normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nondiagnostic: Without examining it, it's not possible to diagnose the indentation but it could be a genetic indentation of the sternum called Pectus excavatum. If you're concerned, have your physician examine you.
