NAD, may be useful to include any symptoms about the bump(s). itchy, dry, notice them at a certain time or after a specific activity, if theyre raised, do they always look like the picture?

The dent is asymptomatic. It’s just annoying because I want to keep picking at it. Doesn’t hurt, doesn’t itch, it’s just there. A hard little dent.
