Horizontal indented line on lower leg?

I have an area about 1 inch long that runs horizontally on the back of my leg, about 3.5'' above the end of my heel bone. It looks as if a part of the underlying soft tissue is missing, and is deeper in the center than at the edges. I have never had an injury on this site, so it is not a scar. I do have plantar fasciitis on the same foot.

The line seems to become less pronounced as the day progresses, and is most noticible in the mornings just after getting up.

What could this be?

please see your doctor. I was told that dimpling is sometimes cancer.
Or could be muscular dystrophy.
