What Causes Leg Pain And Dark Brown Raised Spot On Shin?
My four year old granddaughter has been complaining of leg pain...her pediatrician thinks it s growing pains, but she complains alot and says it hurts to walk. Just this morning we noticed a very dark brown raised spot on her skin in the lower shin area that s about the size of a dime. It s on the same leg that she complains about. Her mom thinks it s a mole that just popped up and will go away. Any thoughts?

hi,sorry to hear about your grand daughter leg pain.as your pediatrician suggested leg pain is common during toddler age groups but they dont feel it much during day time.they will complain about it more at night.regarding the black mole,did your grand daughter had any pain killer.if so,it may be an allergic reaction to pain killer.concern about it if it grows big or any itching associated with it.hope you got your answer.good day
