What Does Red Knot On Forehead Of A 3 Year Old Indicate?
My 3 year old son has an unexplained knot about the size of a large grape or larger on his forehead. The area of the knot is red. I know he didn't hit his head. The knot has been there for a little over 24 hours. What could be wrong? Does he need to go to the ER?

Hi....NY what you quote, this looks like an unexplained bruising. As you are sure that he has not hit his head anywhere, this becomes spontaneous bleeding too. This requires evaluation for a bleeding disorder. I suggest you consult your pediatrician for this.
