Any ideas are helpful. Not really worried about making it worse

If you are close use a slapper with teeth and bring up the shallow areas, but be very even with your blows (almost one on top of the other) use the right shape dolly and your blows must be soft (do not hit the skin hard) that will tighten the skin

PS do not use a hammer for this exercise
