What Causes Sunken Spots On Lower Leg?
I have suddenly got s sunken spot on my lower leg to the side / front part about the size of a half of a ladies fist. It just came up today because I noticed it shaving when the razor went off course. It wasnt there yesterday. It doesn t hurt and isn t red or discolored.

Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to local inflammation or varicose veins. For this reason, If this spot persists, I would recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels in order to investigate for varicose veins and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, blood electrolytes, fasting glucose, kidney function tests).
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
