What Causes Swelling And Dark Discoloration In The Left Foot Of An Infant?
My nephew is 23 months old was his left foot is swollen and has turned purple one toe has burst open and bleeding. Drs say there is nothing wrong with him that they can find. But, there has to be something going on for it to swell like it has. Do you have any suggestions?
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that most likely some infection has caused swelling, discoloration and bleeding from the site and need to be evaluated. Kindly consult a pediatrician for proper evaluation and treatment.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards Dr Bhanu Partap
