To go to A&E/Badger?

Posting here for traffic, sorry.

Just noticed this on 5.5 year old DD, have been playing in the sunshine today and took lots of photos, none of which this shows in, so it’s appeared rather quickly.

no other symptoms, but it isn’t fading under a glass, and health anxiety is making me feel I should contact 111 or head to badger for it?

One part of me thinks it looks like she’s bashed it maybe off something, but it’s how quick it’s came up that’s throwing me off course.

any advice is appreciated.

It doesn’t look like a rash at all. I think it’s your health anxiety OP. Please don’t waste a light sunny Saturday night dragging your daughter about chasing round medics

It’s just how fast it’s popped up too, but i dont know I’ve never seen a bruise Timelapse, I’ve woke up with a bruise I’ve no recollection of doing.

This is literally nothing OP, do not waste walk ins time for a tiny bruise

Omg it’s a scratch or something. No need for anything.

Bruises don’t fade though… it looks like a very minor bruise.

@AquaPeer

as I say, I do have health anxiety, and personal issues have been creeping in recently, so I may be over reacting which I do completley understand.

it’s just the colouring and the fact it doesn’t fade that’s scared me.

It doesn’t look like anything. She probably caught it on something.

it looks like she’s caught it on a hedge or bush

I wouldn’t seek any medical attention for it- why do you think you need to? Is there something else going on?

Hazeby · 05/04/2025 18:55

Heat rash probably. Does she have any other symptoms?

RosesAndHellebores · 05/04/2025 18:53

Sorry op, has she been near badgers and you are worried about TB?

SallyD00lally · 05/04/2025 18:52

It will post, you just have to wait for auto approval.

What is 'badger'?

ToKittyornottoKitty · 05/04/2025 18:52

Google heat rash and see if it looks like that as that can creep out in the sun

feathermucker · 05/04/2025 18:52
