7 Year Old Have A Lump Under The Chin Which Bruises On Pressing. No Injury. Should I Be Concerned?
Hi, my 7 year old daughter has a lump under her chin that bruises if she plays with it (presses it). She had it last year and it went away after a week or so and yesterday l noticed a tiny bruise appeared again and within 1 day it is 5 times bigger. (the bruising not the lump). she has assured me that she has not bumped it and that it does not hurt but l am a little concerned and have an appt to see a doc but not for 2 more days..
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A lump under the chin with superficial bruising may be due to a hematoma or a swollen lymph node. Appearance of bruise is worrisome and needs blood investigations to rule out any bleeding disorder.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
