Is Dermatologist Consultation Advisable For Greenish Yellow Bruise On The Chest?

My daughter has what looks like a yellow/green bruise on her chest for about 2 months now. It is getting bigger about and inch wide...irregular, circle shaped. She will see a dermatologist next week. Is a dermatologist the most appropriate one to see?

Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that your daughter is suffering from bacterial infection. Dermatologist is the right expert to check the lesion and prescribe medicines.

Your daughter might need to go through blood test and may require antibiotics if test results suggest presence of bacterial infection.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish your daughter feels better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
