Is this a concerning amount of bruises?

[MummaHud]

My daughter is 5 and she is always ON the go, it’s been half term and she’s like the Duracell bunny…

she has no other symptoms but I always worry bruises like this are something to be worried about? AIBU worrying?

I think my legs were exactly like that for years. They're in typical places too

Totally normal.

Oh bless her, I am so sorry if my post was insensitive.. but your little girl sounds so incredible.. and I am over the moon she is doing well xxxxx

I used to count my bruises as a child and remember regularly counting 20+

So I wouldn't be worrying just because of plenty of bruises I don't think, as long as they are generally in "normal" places.

No no not insensitive at all! I just know it’s a really common worry re bruises on kids and just wanted to try and put your mind at ease!

I wouldn't be concerned about leukemia in this case without any other symptoms. Other symptoms would be popping up too such as unexplained fevers, tiredness, bleeding gums etc.

Yep. You can definitely tell the difference. Thanks for sharing.

I hope she's doing well now. My son had lymphoma last year, it's such an awful thing to go through. xx

No it's quite normal for that age.

I hope you’ve been reassured op. I’ve had exactly the same concerns as you as a fellow health anxiety sufferer. I have improved over time so there is hope!

Thank you so much for being brave enough to share these photos, it really is such a help to those of us with health anxiety. I’m so pleased to hear your daughter is doing well and wish her continued good health.

That looks normal for an active child? Unless there are more, in unusual locations?

My daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia when she was 4. She had no bruises at diagnosis, just leg pain. Shes almost 19 now.
