I have a three year old little boy who I ve taken to the Dr. And have a follow up with on the 8th however I feel that there is something else. He has had a discolored on his left breast since April that just appeared, thinking it was a bruise I have kept an eye on it. Its not tender to the touch he doesn t complain and there aren t any bite marks etc, however this morning it s swollen approximately a half inch
Hi....by what you quote I feel that the kid might be having a bleeding disorder, either congenital or acquired... Mostly congenital, considering the age of presentation. The bluish discoloration you are noticing is a subcutaneous bleed or bruise and the small lump you are able to palpate is a subcutaneous blood clot. Your grandchild needs evaluation and I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible. This I am suggesting because - if the kid has a spontaneous bleeding like this internally, as she might require emergency blood products. Regards -
