Hi, I have recently noticed a dint in each of my thighs over a week ago. I have never had this before I can feel the dents on my thigh when I rub my hand over it. I had twins by csection just over 3months ago has this got something to do with it?? I am not over weight in anyway I am 5 11 and weigh 9stone 11

The dents on the thigh could be a manifestation of striae which can occur post pregnancy as a result of weight gain followed by weight loss .Topical medications like tretinoin can be applied over the affected area at night along with topical Vitamin E preparations in the morning .Surgical procedures like Platelet rich plasma therapy can also be done.Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy.
