What Causes Blood Spots In Infants?
When my baby was 6 months old, he got a tiny pink spot on his forehead that slowly got slightly raised, and very red. He is now 17 months and I went to the Dr s who told me it was a blood spot (which she said was similar to a strawberry birthmark, which I thought disapeared around 6 months, not appeared) she said blood spots in babies are very common and completely safe. But i ve read that they are common in over 40 s, and may turn into something serious. If it is a blood spot, what causes them? Is it a trauma of some sort? Thank you
