Son, 4, has had a bump/lump on his lower leg for at least 1.5 weeks. It does not hurt him to touch. Originally the bump had no discoloration, but has developed the purple center shown here over time. Size has remained approximately the same since we noticed it, with a period over the weekend where it looked a bit smaller. Now it seems the same as it always has.

Saw pediatrician 5 days ago, taking a wait and see approach but she recommended continuing to photograph for a week. Did not feel anything concerning when she pressed on it, and thought it might be a bug bite that just swelled up terribly. I plan to follow up but just looking for outside opinions on what it may be. I can post more progress pictures in comments.
