What Causes Tender Spot On Thigh And Dent On Leg After Injury?
Hey, I fell over and banged the lateral side of my quadriceps on a night out in December 2014, about 1/4 the way down my thigh. It initially bruised and was painful to weight-bare lasting 3 days and is now only tender to touch/press on. However I have quite an obvious dent in my leg which looks odd. I have no loss of strength. Any idea what this could be?

What Causes Tender Spot On Thigh And Dent On Leg After Injury?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic The dent may be due to the formation of scar tissue under the skin. Scar tissue would pull on the over lying skin and may therefore cause the appearance of a dent . Scar tissue can form as a result of any injury. It is possible that it may improve though this can take months or years in some cases. I hope this helps
