Here is some further information to back up my answer, although I failed to copy the sites, but you could locate them using terms in the quotes, should you so wish.

"Signo del pliegue" en la piel o piel de viejito, que se aprecia al pellizcarla un poco y ver que por falta de elasticidad normal, el pliegue no vuelve a su sitio.


A valuable method of assessing dehydration in children is by gently pinching up the skin on the side of the abdomen. On releasing, it should immediately return to normal. When dehydration is present the skin fold takes much longer to return.

reduced skin turgor

sign of dehydration - when you pinch the skin in a normally hydrated person, it returns immediately to its normal position. In dehydration, it returns a lot more slowly.
