What Causes An Indentation On The Shin?
Today I just noticed I have an indentation on my right shin, it is slightly discolored, reddish. There is no pain when I push on it. I'm also having pain in my inner ankle, don't know if it's related but would like to know what could have caused the indent. There is no swelling and I did push on my skin but it did not leave an indent when I did that.

Hello,
Consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. If it is in the bone, an MRI scan may be needed.
