                                            Question : 6 month old with bruise on back that is still there after a month?
                            
                                    Hi XXXXXXX 
May I know the reason for bruise? The healing is not fast in an infant when compared to adult.
An examination is required for this kid. Please see the doctor immediately.
Regards
