What Does A Red Bruise On Shoulder Blades Indicate?
Hi. My 19 month old came home from daycare with a bad bruise slightly above his shoulder blades. it is not a typical bruise, it is red and did not change colour. There was horizontal scratches along it also! What sort of bruising is this in this odd place? Why is it different to the typical bruise that changes colour? This is his second bruise like this and they both happend in daycare

Hi, welcome to icliniq.com.
- red bruise over shoulder with horizontal marks, indicates trauma at shoulder region.
- if a bruise is large or on a part of body where skin is thin, it may remain red or change colour after some time.
- i advice you to go to day care centre and talk to them about this, there is a possibility that someone is beating your child.
I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
