A member asked:

I have an indent on the middle of my forehead just above the eyebrow line and now my newborn has it too is it a trait i have inherited genetically?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Many facial features - dimples, chin size, nose shape - are inherited features. What a wonderful thing that your newborn shares this special feature with you. You can definitely rule out the mailman! (lol).
