A member asked:
Indentation in legs are caused by what? and how do they go away? 1 week right leg dent.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Edema: a long lasting dent in your leg would signify to me that you are accumulating fluid in that leg, which could be worrisome. It is hard for me to say anything decided to leave without examining you, but I would see a doctor, especially if you have a history of shortness of breath, heart problems, or weight fluctuations.
