Hi, my toddler has a bruised vein on his forehead that goes into his hairline. It looks like part of the vein has a little bump in it in the middle of his forehead. I noticed it as I was getting him ready for bed and I don t know how he got it. He s almost 20 months old. Does this sound like a normal bump & bruise or should I take him to the ER to be seen?
