Do you have a photo. What's she eaten? DH freaked out at dd2 leg and it turned out she had mashed a raspberry into it

Trying to upload a photo it's saying each photo is to big when it's just a pic of her leg

Do you think they're bruises?

I cant really see anything. Has she had the sun on her legs these last few days?

Loughranx · 17/07/2022 21:27

No definitely not she can't crawl or move around much and there like plotches

Yeah well she's been outside quite a bit but it's just on one leg and it's just like blotches

Any redheads in the family? Looks like pigmentation to me so could be joined up freckles. I have them (and freckles)

Is she feeding okay - or off her food?

Loughranx · 17/07/2022 21:32

She had covid 2 weeks ago so has been feeding as great

Could they be café au lait spots? They often first show up with sun exposure.

Hellocatshome · 17/07/2022 21:36

I think it's probably just uneven pigmentation that hasn't been obvious before exposure to the sun.

Second vote for cafe-au-lait patches.

Get them checked if you're worried though

Paediatric nurse here. I agree they look like cafe au lait spots.
