General & Family Physician 's  Response
Thank you for the concern. History is not so clear as it does not indicate any injury. So i think it may appear suddenly and than spread to whole arm and now same symptoms appear on the other arm than it may be bleeding disorder, Hemophillia, Von willebrand's disease. so immediately consult your treating pediatrician and get investigated.
