See a doctor: Liver, heart, and kidney disease (amongst other things) can cause this. You need an evaluation.

A member asked:

If I press hard on my shins for a few seconds, it leaves behind an extremely subtle indent (I can tell that my thumb was pressed there). My feet, calves, and ankles don't leave behind any indent. Would that still be classified as pitting edema?
