How can you tell whether it is a build up of body fluid or fat?

If it is fluid, there may be some 'pitting' if you gently press your finger into the tissue, and the indent remains visible for a few seconds - sometimes evident in the lower extremities. Fat tends to be spread evenly throughout the tissues (on healthy individuals), unless there is excess.
