Answer: Skin depressions in patients with alopecia areata: What is the cause? These skin depressions usually come from steroid injections. The phenomenon you are describing is called "atrophy". The indentations are temporary provided the clinician does not keep injecting into the area. Otherwise in alopecia areata there should not be depressions if the patient has not received steroid injections.
