What Causes Small Bruises On Base Of Spine?
my six year old has a spattering of small bruises at the base of his spine. he doesn t remember getting them....he had bloodwork recently (as he has lost about 2 lbs in the past few months) and all came back normal. any thoughts or suggestions? plan on going to the dr. obviously, just a worried mom hoping to get some sleep tonight :)

Hi.... spontaneous bruising with weight loss should not be ignored and definitely be investigated. It could be a bleeding disorder or a blood related neoplasm.
