Aibu to worry about ds foot?

[Dottyfoot]

Hi, NC for this. Noticed this on toddler ds foot the other day. It's not raised and was quite red when I first spotted it and is now slowly fading but still visible. Doesn't seem to bother him when it's touched and he's well in every other way. No idea what caused it and no other injuries. What one earth could this be? Aibu to be a bit worried? Google isn't offering much in way of help.

It looks like a bite mark 🤔

That was my first thought too

Does he go to nursery, have siblings or mix with other children at all ?

Do you think so? As in a person or insect? Absolutely impossible to be a person as was with me all day shopping and not out my sight once.

Ringworm.

Person, well, other small child really!

Looks like a little person’s mouth shape teeth imprints… Could he possibly have bitten his own foot? Maybe another child the day/couple of days before?

Good point above, toddlers are quite bendy

It couldn't be bed bug or flea bite, could it? Any pets or recent holidays?

Maybe he just dropped something on his foot hard? Like a glass bottle with a ridgy bottom?

I guess that's not totally impossible but never seen him try that before and just not something I could see him do. Still, they are quite unpredictable I suppose!

It's the bug route I was going down but couldn't see anything similar on Google. We spend a lot of time outdoors but nothing really jumped out on Google images.

Is he missing a couple of bottom teeth , there’s a gap 🤣.

I don't suppose he's extremely agile and could have raised his foot to his own mouth? If not, maybe digging nails in.

You say he's a toddler, can you ask him about it to see if he can remember dropping something, anything happening?

Could it be ringworm? Is it itchy?

Bite or ring worm

It’s teeth marks- from someone with that number of teeth.

does he go to nursery? Does he have that many teeth himself?

I would imagine he has bitten his foot

He isn't scratching it and when I touch it doesn't seem to be in any pain. Skin isn't broken either. I'm baffled

It really does look like a human bite mark.

Measure his mouth and teeth and see if they match up - I bet he has bitten his foot.
Someone has....

Yeah to me it looks like he's bitten his own foot. I work with children who often do this, and I've seen bite bruises like this before.

Thanks everyone, really helpful replies. Going to keep an eye and see if he tries it again

Hell - I wish I could bite my own foot!!

It is not ringworm, where the ring is filled in with pink/red and it is itchy.

These are teeth marks.

Lace up shoes too tight? If the laces have thick eyelets I mean?

That's not ringworm.

He's definitely bitten his own foot! A toddler can easily get their foot into their mouth.

It's not ringworm I don't think, I really looks like a bite human (small child's) bite. He must have done it to himself! I'm sure it will go down. If not go speak to the pharmacist.
