Is There Anything To Worry About Painful, Dark Bruise On Lower Leg Of A 4 Year Old Child?
My 4 year old has a dark bruise on his lower leg with a white patch in the middle (he doesn't remember how he got it but that's not unusual). It's not bothered him for a few days but woke him in the night screaming in pain. this morning he says the pain has subsided.
Should I be concerned?

From the description given by you the lesion appears innocent and is unlikely to be of any significance. There appears to be no cause of concern and lesion should subside in couple of days.
If the lesion persists do get back to us with clinical photograph
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
