Hello,
Such bruise mark can be due to following-
-Insect bite
-Due to soft tissue injury.
If he is not having swelling in foot and leg & there is no fever then there is little to worry.I shall advise you following to have relief in this-
-Take rest.
-Take an analgesic preparation in child doses like acetaminophen.
-Keep limb elevated on pillow.
Most probably this will go away with in 3-5 days .If it does not disappear or he has fever or swelling then please consult to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari
