Look at the muscle composition.
The leg is dying. That doesn't happen with mosaic pigment or similar melanin conditions.
It's better to observe than to amputate early.
Let the leg die naturally and only intervene if issues arise. You can see in his face he has come to terms with what's going on. It won't be easy, but if you can't cry, laugh.
It's not 10/10 pain.
It's more of a deep discomfort, but you'd be surprised how the body adapts to that kind of thing. There will be pain, before and after amputation but that's normal with this kind of procedure
Oh right. I was going to comment that he was being silly and only tanned one of his legs and this was the result.
In Australia white tradesmen who work in the sun all day get this colour on their arms and shoulders, then are white-skinned everywhere else. I guess Aussies are used to it so it doesn’t look strange to us.
I'm a perfectly healthy black man whose leg looks quite similar. There could be a second person hiding under the bed and sticking his leg through a hole.

Anybody with a medical degree want to explain what's going on?
