Abstract: Erd"os proved in 1946 that if a set $Esubsetmathbb{R}^n$ is closed and non-empty, then the set, called ambiguous locus or medial axis, of points in $mathbb{R}^n$ with the property that the nearest point in $E$ is not unique, can be covered by countably many surfaces, each of finite $(n-1)$-dimensional measure. We improve the result by obtaining a new regularity result for these surfaces in terms of convexity and $C^2$ regularity.
