So about 3 or 4 weeks ago i noticed a dent on both of my shins as if someone took a hammer and struck me there' perfectly symmetric, equal distance apart. This dents are numb strangely enough...no feeling whats so ever. I spoke to and took photos and sent them to a doctor who told me it was most likely my salt intake(which made sense) so i changed my diet. A few days later i noticed the one on my left shin had went away but my right was still visible and also some spots had appeared within it. It wasnt at all painful so i left it alone and Its been a couple weeks since and i wake today to a big red scab thats very sore to the touch and kinda damp with blood. I have pictures if anybody can help me figure this out. Thanks.
