Suggest Remedy For Bruises/lump In Infants

My 7 1/2 month old daughter has a dark blue/purple bruise on her right side, about the size of a quarter and it's raised, like a lump. It's not tender to the touch, and this morning it was not there. I noticed it at 6pm tonight when changing her cloth diaper. She did not have any falls or bumps today. Should I take her in to her ped tomorrow am??

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Yes, I would advise you to get him clinically examined by a paediatrician to see if it is a hematoma or a birth mark (hemangioma). He might advise you with some investigations if need be.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
