"Bulges" are wider than normal spacing - and the one in your photo is not too bad. Nothing to worry about.
"Indentations" are caused where the ply fabric overlaps during the manufacturing process. The tire is actually stronger there. You will always find one for every sidewall ply listed on the tire (perhaps 2!) In your photo, those are fairly normal. Nothing to worry about.
BTW Nitrogen behaves very much like air and increases pressure with increasing temperature just like air. In fact, there is very little advantage to using nitrogen:
