What Does A Red Bruise Near The Elbow Of An Infant Indicate?
my 7 month old baby had a bruise near her elbow, except it was dark red! the colour of port red wine? she hasnt fallen or hurt herself. now that it has gone we can see a small dot where it was, so im thinking she was bit by an insect? she never had any unusual symptoms of any sort.
dear parent, being dark red and then resolving to only small dots are the normal stages of healing of any bruise if this is a one tine incident then there is no need to worry, but if the unexplained bruises keep occuring then you might ned to investigate the possibility of a bleeding disorder
