Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you you got injury over your shin. After examination at emergency department by x ray shows no fractured. You are worried about indentation at shin. It may be due to some injury to subcutaneous tissue and displacements of subcutaneous tissue. No need to worry as it will cause no harm but it may take longer time such as 6 months to become normal. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
