Suggest Treatment For Child Having Bruise On Cheek
my 2 yr old daughter has a bruise on her cheek that seems to be getting worse. I know the usual colors a bruise turns and its not like that it. it seems to be getting worse its perfectly round and about the size of a dime. the sitter said she feel but she didn t think she hit her cheek on anything. my question is how long should a bruise last?
Hi...usually a bruise will resolve in a week or two. More than this it should not be there. The next possibility I think of is a bug biteallergy. The other possibility is a cellulitis or a skin infection. But, Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
