Brief Answer:
Need more details

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Read your query.

Would need further details.
I would really like to know when this started.
Also the size of the lesion.
Besides, is the size growing?
Any trauma?
Any fever?
Any raised lesion? Or simply discoloration?

If possible, please upload a picture.

I would have frankly suggested a dermatology opinion.

Best of luck

Brief Answer:
Dont fret

Detailed Answer:
I think it is too new a development- 1 day you said.
I would suggest he keep a watch on the size of it.
If it gets bigger, a dermatology consult may be needed.
But definitely not something he need worry about.
A picture would always help.
And you can upload a picture. The system allows you- contact healthcaremagic service. They can help you upload a picture if you have one.

Best of luck
