Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. However, you may watch and wait If the dent heals in a few weeks, it would be okay. If you get more lesions, or get fever, or lose weight, see a doctor. For the headache you may take an over the counter pain relief like acetaminophen. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
