What Does A Purple Bruise Like Spot On Chin Indicate?
my 9 year old daughter woke up with a purple bruise like spot on her chin. This is the second time she has had this spot in the same place. It doesn't hurt when touched and she did not bump it. It just seems to appear out of nowhere. Is this a symptom of something we need to check on?

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-magic
Easy bruisability requires further workup. Coagulation profile and platelet count and platelet function assessment are important. Vitamin C deficiency could also have such presentation.
Suggest you to consult your physician for further assessment.
