Suggest Medication For Large Painful Dent In The Lower Right Leg

I Am a 51 year old male. I have noticed a large dent on the front of my lower right leg, slightly to left of shin bone. It was painful in the night and continues to be painful today when I touch the area. It looks as if all the tissues beneath the skin have disappeared, like a hollow, an oval shape about 2" x 1".

I understand your concern;
you need to do following investigations:
CBC, ESR, CRP & ALP
proper Anteroposterior and lateral x-ray of your leg.
results should be seen by a doctor and MRI may be needed
to rule out infection and tumors.
