Flat spot on tyre

Hi all, like an idiot last year I thought I could get away without using paddock stands, my bike was sat for months in the same place on a cold concrete garage floor.

Now have paddock stands, however noticed the rear tyre has a slight flat spot/egg in it, hardly anything at all but has got me wondering?

Is this a new tyre job like I think? Or is there any way I could possibly get it round again?

I've heard if you deflate and inflate to maximum psi you can pop it out??

Any thoughts?

I am no expert, but I would think that a careful ride out, setting your tyres at the correct pressure & getting your tyres up to temp would sort things out...
If the flat spot is still noticable after 20 miles of riding then you prob be best getting new rubber.
