What Causes Indentation In Upper Arms?

Hi, I ve been working out hard and lifting weights and cardio, I ve noticed my arms mainly my upper arms have indentations almost like cellulite in them. What is that? Could it be from retaining water? My diet is ok, I don t drink soda, I don t eat fast food, I mainly eat protein and sugars here and there. I have alcohol occasionally, but those things are not part of my every day diet, about 2 days out of the week. Could that be causing the indentations or yo yo dieting causing indentations?

Welcome to HCM
I have read and understood your query
Hope it may help
I would advised you to get a look at this indentation by your physician or surgeon.it is very important to get a complete examination before reaching diagnosis.In my opinion your diet has nothing to do with these indentations.Though stop working out till you get a check up.Take an anti inflammatory pain killer like naproxen sodium till that
I will be happy to know if it was helpful.You can approach us anytime with another query
