It is important to distinguish Venus dimples from sacral dimples. While Venus dimples are benign and purely cosmetic, sacral dimples are typically located lower on the back, near the tailbone. They may sometimes be a sign of underlying spinal issues such as spina bifida occulta. Sacral dimples may be accompanied by skin tags or bruising. Medical imaging, such as MRI or ultrasound, may be recommended to rule out complications.
