Why Am I Having Pain In My Left Ankle?

Today had pain in my left ankle and just within the past hour I noticed an indentation in my lower left leg in front of my calf area. I applied slight pressure to area and felt as if there was no fatty tissue like skin against bone. Was not very painful with pressure applied just a slight painful sensation.
