What Could Cause Indentations On Calf?
After periods of standing, I will get an indentation on the middle of my calf. The mark looks like a small line, maybe 3 inches long. When I run my hands over the mark, I can feel an actual caving the size of the mark in my muscle. However, once I sit for a while the line and dent go away. It doesn t worry me, but I wonder what causes it??

It can be a vein. Dont stand gor long time. U can consult to a physiotherapist. And go for ankle toe movements and while sleeping u can have 1 pillow under knee and 2 pillows under ankle. For raising the leg for 30 mins.
