    Pitting edema soles of feet

    Oh dear, here I go again. For some time now Ive noticed sock marks on ankles after the end of the day, so i started to prod around my feet, and on sections of the soles I leave a slight indent after pressing, it takes a good feq seconds for it to return. Im bloody petrified again now. I just had blood tests, liver, kidneys, so does this mean a heart issue now??

    No. Just No. Of course if you walk or use your feet you are going to have what look like indents. True pitting edema does not work like that.

    No, i press down with my finger onto the soles of my feet and it leaves an indent, which takes a while to return. Its quite obvious when i scrunch my toes making my skin compressed. Could this just be loose skin?

    99% of me thinks this is pitting edema because i tested my skin as appropriate, and its leaving a dnnt. The 1% of me thinks this cant possibly mean another serious illness. Im on the verge of ringing nhs 111 again.....

    I think you are looking for things to worry about. I presume you have googled the condition from a US website due to the US spelling?

    Ya that is not pitting edema. That is just loose skin. If it was pitting edema it would look like a pit and not go back so readily
