Brief Answer:
Looks like a bruise, related to unnoticed trauma or injury

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it is looking like a bruise.
It is due to leakage of blood in the skin due to some unnoticed trauma or injury, can be related to prolonged use of laptop on the thigh.
You can keep a watch on it and if it recurs get your coagulation profile checked to rule out any underlying problem.
Regards
