Pigmentation? Something I should worry about?

Hello everyone. I have a 3 month old ambanja x nosy be panther. He eats, poops, and sleeps like a champ. Growing like a weed. I noticed yesterday a very small area of pigment that looks abnormal compared to the rest of him on the hind surface of his left rear leg. It does not appear on the other side. I've attached a picture. Just an errant pigmentation, or something to worry about?

His colors are very interesting for a Nosy Be or Ambanja. What do you mean by no history of importance?
 
Oops, I wrote ambanja when i meant ambilobe, but I'm really excited to see what he looks like once he's grown! No history of importance just means that he's had no prior medical problems.
 
Thank you! It's just a tiny little dark dot right about where is left rear leg meets his body. I figure its probably nothing to worry about but this is my first chameleon so I'm extra uptight.
