Brief Answer:
Does not look to be due to any disease or disorder.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history, seen the pictures and understood your concerns.
As per my experience the isolated yellow spot on the skin of a leg can most probably be due to a stain mark of something that you have missed to notice.
No known disease gives such isolated yellow discoloration of the skin.
Jaundice will give yellowness of the whole boy skin and mucus membrane.
Some ointments are yellow colored.
Make a sugar paste with water and apply it, it will remove the spot if it is due to turmeric.
I hope this answer helps you.

No, it's not a stain, it's more like a bruise
