I am 55 years old with a very obvious indentation in my inner right thigh. My mother once told me this indentation developed because of an IV left in place for too long when I because ill as a child. The indentation is void of subcutaneous fat. As I am losing muscle mass, this dent is becoming more pronounced, even when wearing pants.
