Toddler With A Bruise Below The Rib Cage With A Lump. Is It A Cause For Concern?

Hi,

My 16.5 month old frequently gets bruises on her knees and even chin since she is so active and has recently started climbing on everything! We noticed a dime sized bruise two nights ago just along her rib cage on the left aside. it seemed a little tender to my daughter but not too painful. it is now the size of a thumbprint and does have a little bump underneath. The coloring did change from purple to now that greenish brown color so that it seems like the bruise is healing and it doesn't seem painful. she doesn't seem to have pain anywhere else and has been acting normal. Should we be concerned? And do we need to call her doctor? Thank you!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I red the history carefully, and it seems to me that this could be a hematoma might be due to some blunt type of injury that might not be noticed by you, I think this will be resolved without an medicine, but still I would like to advise you to have an eye for any such lesion if ever happens to your baby, take a good care of your baby and have nice day.
