I have gone through your query ,photo and understand your concern. It may be due to some unnoticed injury leading to adherence of skin to deeper tissue (muscle) . As there is no other symptoms so it does not require any treatment however you can get his MRI of calf to rule out other pathology and to relieve your anxiety.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.
