The ring is simply a dent in the skin from the pressure of the elastic at the top of the sock that is supposed to hold the sock up. The rings will go away in a short time on their own after you take the socks off. Not a real health issue.
You can stretch the top of the socks a bit to try to loosen them slightly.

That happens to most everyone. It doesn't matter how much someone weighs. They could be 70 lbs, 100 lbs, or 150 lbs. It is only because of the elastic. Elastic tends 2 do that. It is not a health issue, well unless it starts cutting off your circulation. Ok.
TTYL.

It may be ur socks are too tight for ur probably veluptuous figure. Invest in some crew socks that dont go high up ur ankle, or cut the part off.

The socks are too tight for your ankle. Try buying bigger socks or ones that do not come up so high.

Are you diabetic? If so, you can buy socks without elastic made for this condition. They won't stay up though - lol. If you aren't, you may be retaining water (body fluid) for some other reason. You should ask your doctor who may prescribe diuretics. Fluid retention can be as benign as a PMS factor or as serious as Heart Failure. Best to know for sure.

Because your socks are too tight due to the size of your ankles.

It is the tightness of the elastic in the socks. It probably means you have socks that aren't the right size.

you are suffocating your ankles or possibly cutting off the circulation of the blood flow from your ankles. most people who are slightly to extremely overweight experience this problem.
