Hello, I have recently noticed a dent in my shin, about six inches from the beginning of the ankle. I have experienced no trauma to the area, and been in no serious accidents. Even more interesting, I have a matching dent on the other leg, but it is less extreme - though neither are highly noticeable at a reasonable distance. Other than an injury that may have gone unnoticed, what could have caused this? Taking both possibilities into consideration (injury and otherwise), will the dent go away?
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Your these dents may be due fat deposits at the shin. It may be normal. It may be structural due to defect in the skin. Probably it requires no treatment. However, if these dents are only on pressing due to thumb then these may be due to heart and kidney disease. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
