What Causes Dark Bruise On The Bottom Of The Foot Of An Infant?
My toddler 20 months old has been sick for a couple weeks and when I gave him a bath tonight I noticed a very dark bruise about the size of a dime on the bottom of his foot that was not there a few hours ago. He hasn t been barefoot today. Are they related and should i be concerned?
Hi I understand your concerns but don't worry. Most likely reason for such bruise on foot can be trauma or discoloration. It will improve spontaneously. In case there are multiple bruises over body then check him for systemic sepsis and bleeding disorder.
