What Causes Dark Indentation On The Shin And Recurrent Enlarged Lymph Nodes?
I have an indented area on my shin (about 1 inch by 3 inches) that is dark and looks like a bruise. It has only been there about 3-4 months. I have also had a problem with recurring enlarged lymph glands for about 2 years. I went to a Hemo/Oncologist 2 years ago about the enlarged lymph glands when they first started to enlarge and he basically blew me off, embarrassing me so much I never went back. Could this be related? What could this indented bruise be?

Hi,
It could be a skin lesion from erythema nodosum. I suggest you visit a skin specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
