View Full Version : Does the tip of your finger become indented when pressing against something?

i've noticed before that when using my phone or just pressing against something with my fingertip when i release my fingertip is indented and take a few seconds to fill back out to normal shape. for example if i press the tip of my thumb on a table for a few seconds when i release the tip of my thumb will have a square like shape for a few seconds, or if i have the tip of my thumb pressed into the corner of my phone it leaves an indention for a few seconds. now i know youre probably thinking its my anxiety kicking but its actually not, im not scared as i have no reason to be that i am aware of, i just get curious and it bugs me sometimes when i dont have an answer for something. i did the old fingertip trick where you press your fingertip to see how quickly it turns back pink to judge circulation and mine immediately turns back pink so its not a circulation problem, my hands arent swollen or appearing to retain fluid. it also seems to be more noticeable when my hands are cold, and also the harder i press and the longer i leave it pressed the longer it stays indented. my girlfriend noticed hers does it a little which is what got my attention on it hers seems to indent less than mine but i also seem to have more skin on my fingertip than hers. anyways i just wanted to know if this was normal so if you could press on something and leave a reply lol :roflmao:

I don't need to try it, I know it's normal. Totally normal.

Ever wear a tight pair of socks and take them off to find the pattern around your leg? Again, all normal.

Yes that happens to me. Also as we age it seems to happen more easily.
