She’s almost six.
She has a bruise on her outer forearm. It started off at the beginning of the week quite light and about the size of a 5p coin and I didn’t think much of it. Over the last few days it has grown and today it’s about the size of a 10p piece and a lot darker. It also has a raised centre which is a paler colour.
I took her to the pharmacy today to ask if it was maybe a bite or something. The pharmacist I thought was a little taken aback when she saw it. Didn’t know what it was but took a photo and said bring her back on Monday to compare. But to be honest if it’s the same or worse I’ll be going to the GP.
She’s fine in herself. No temperature etc. Says the bruise isn’t sore unless she presses it. I am really worried about it though. I don’t really know why. I think it’s just that it’s not healing and I’m worried about infection/sepsis or leukaemia? But accept I can be a little over anxious about this stuff.
She has no idea how it happened. I asked her when it first appeared and she was like “🤷🏻♀️ Dunno didn’t know it was there”. She runs about, plays games etc at school so probably just bumped herself doing that.
Any thoughts?
