What Could Dark Dents On Foot Suggest?
I have a dent in my lower leg about 3 inches above my foot that randomly has appeared. It is darker in color than the surrounding skin and definitely a dent. It feels as if there is a rubber band around my leg just below the dent. What could this bee and do I need to get medical help?

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is callosity .Topical keratolytic agents like salicylic acid can be used over the affected area. Avoid constant pressure on the affected area Emolients containing liquid paraffin can be used over the affected area and on the surrounding skin to increase the suppleness of your skin.Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy.
