Have Unexplained Bruises In Ears, Sweating, Itching, Loss Of Appetite. What Could Be The Reason?

Hi, my daughter is 2, turning three in december. She has has unexplained bruises on her ears that started over the summer. One ear will have a bruise thatt is dark and covers the parts of the ear visibible on the outside and inside, not inside the ear canal as far as I can see. She has also recently decreased her eating. She sweats A LOT, very easily. soaking pillowcases even thouh no blankets are on her. Or just sweating a lot while playing with the other kids. The bruises continue coming and going and swtich ears. i KNOW for a fact the other kids are not pulling or biting her ears. and I know she hasnt hit her head on both sides of her ears back and forth for the last few months. What should I do or what could these be frtom ?

Welcome to healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Its quite common to see in this age group have such complaints. its more likely to be just erythema and not bruising as described you. erythema that is redness due to congestion is sometimes seen in this age group because of excessive sweating, which may be due to hot climate.

Further i would suggest you to send us clinical photograph at Healthcare-Magic so that we can reassess.
Take Care
