What Could The Bruising On Hip Of A Child Be?
Hello, My son is 2yrs old, when I was going to give him a bath last night I noticed he had a bruse or sumthing right above his hip. Its a little knot under his skin and its tender to the tuch. He is a verrry active child, it seems like the only time it bothers him is when I tuch it, I dont know if I should take him to the doctor or if i am over reacting, Help Please!!!!!

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some soft tissue infection producing bruise with tender knot.
This can be due to some thing allergic bite producing local allergic reaction.
Apply ice pack for a day or two.
If knot increases or become more painful, he might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
