Suggest Medication For Blackish Lump Noticed Near The Rib Area
My son has got a red lump suddenly near his rib area (we noticed after returning from shop) and it changed to greenish color after 2 hrs or so. He is not feeling any pain but that lump is somewhat blackish now. We thought it may be due to injury while playing in shop but others feel it may be due to someother reason also. My son is 3&1/2 years with good medical history.
