What Causes Back Bruises On The Baby?
My cousin brought her baby to the doctor yesterday and the doctor saw some bruises on the baby s back and told my cousin its not good when they keep getting them on their backs and that she would have to go for blood work on Monday. I was wondering what it could be.

Hello,
Possible causes like bleeding disorders must be ruled out as it will predispose the child to bruise.
A detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact diagnosis. Complete bleeding parameters and a peripheral smear is required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
