What Causes Dark Bruises On The Limbs In Children?
My 5 1/2 year old granddaughter has been getting these round purplish bruises that are white in the center, on her arms and legs. There are now too many to think that she is just hitting her arms and legs. She awoke this morning with three more on her leg. What could it be.

HI...I would like to see the images and then comment on this but a the same time - I put forth these possibilities -
1. Bleeding disorder
2. Henoch Schonlein Purpura
3. Uticareia or Hives.
4. Systemic Vasculitis.
