It may be a scar from an injury (a burn, for example) or illness (eg, chickenpox) when you were too young to remember. Youthful skin doesn’t show scars so much, but as the skin ages, an old scar can show up as a dent in the skin. Being scar tissue, it may have a different colour or texture, and be more sensitive than the surrounding normal skin.
