One cause of a temporary dent in the skin of the shin area is fluid buildup. This pretibial edema can be from fluid retention around period time, weak vein valves, excess salt ingestion,thyroid disorder.Do you note fluid retention elsewhere? I wouldn't suspect kidney,liver, cardiac or medication causes in your case. Discuss with your physician.
