Hello, I just noticed that I have what looks and feels like an indentation to the outer side of my right leg. The indent is just above the ankle, but below the calf muscle. By comparing it to the other ankle, it is an area which is mainly bone. What would cause this pitting?
Hello, Most probably such indent can be due to soft tissue swelling. This can be due to excessive walking or heavy exercise or after long journeys. If there is associated fever, pain or if there are other annoying symptoms then it is of concern. If it continues to enlarge then you should consult to your doctor and have an x-ray. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
