My mom was pushing her skin down on her leg and her skin stayed down. What does that mean? Is she sick?

I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone or if anyone knows what it means.My mom was pushing her skin down on her leg and her skin stayed down. What does that mean? Is she sick?
She definitely could be dehydrated. Our bodies are over 3/4 water, so we need to drink half our body weight in ounces of pure, filtered water. Preferrably not bottled water as most of those are from the tap of which is not to be drank either or even used for cooking. Not juices, coffee, or tea. Distilled water robs us of our iron. Also vegetables have quite a bit of water in them if you do not cook them to death and then drain the water down the sink. If you steam them only do until they are still crunchy as they will still have the nutrients and some water in them.
She could be dehydrated.?? This happened to my friend once... Maybe she should check with her dr.
she probably doesnt drink enough water.
sounds like dehydration
just means that shes retaining water
If her skin stayed down, I'ld say she's really dehydrated and needs to go to the doctor. I would'nt wait any longer on that. If she's not sick, she will be. If she's sick, she could get sicker, especially being dehydrated.
maybe she has on stockings and forgot they were on. Tell her to check if that is the answerer. If yes, she should take off the stockings and her legs will come back to regular shape.
1. if you mean she pushed her skin down with her hand and her skin stayed indented she is retaining water.
2. If she rolled her skin down and it stayed up and did not snap back the she is dehydrated.
