What Causes Bruises On Legs,back And Arms?
my 8 year old daughter is covered in bruises, not your average rough housing children bruises. They are tiny almost like polka dots on the backs of her legs, and on her back and arms. Im scared, pedatricians think moms always overract but there are far too many bruises to just be normal
