My 7 year old son has a reoccurring bruise on the lower part of his spine. He is white, overweight but active. We first saw it a couple of months ago. Our pediatrician did a CBC blood test and it was normal plus the bruise went away. Came back yesterday. Purplish in color, not raised, round.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history, your son is probably having eczema. My treatment advice is –
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine for itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harshit Bhachech
