I did have s CT scan of my left leg. It showed that I have a leg mass in the sub Q area most likely fat necrosis. My PCP may order a MRI or just watch and wait.

Thank you for getting beck to me. I did show the leg dimpling to my doctor and she ordered a CT scan for this week. She thought that it might be a lump near the site. I am thinking it may be muscle atrophy from lack of exercise.

HI and thanks for using the forum.

Have you shown this to your doctor?  This would be a good idea.  I am not really sure what could be causing it.  It may simply be normal anatomy or even some cellulite- but if this is something new that was not there before, then you should show it to your doctor just to be safe.  I hope this helps.  good luck.
