Am I right to be worried about these bruises?

[bebski]

My toddler (3 in oct) has been off her food for the past month and eating considerably less than normal, drinking fine, weeing and pooing fine.

Her mood the past month or more has also been horrendous, she’s incredibly irritable but thrown in with short periods where she seems content.

She’s been soley in my care the whole summer holidays and I haven’t noticed any falls that would offer an explanation for the bruising and she would definitely be letting me know about a fall!

She isn’t lethargic, no bleeding, not sleeping more than usual and apart from a low grade fever for a few days, hasn’t had any signs of illness.

She has fair skin and is a red head like me but I’ve never known bruises to come up so quickly on her, the one on her tummy and back (albeit lighter in colour) seem particularly odd!

I’ve been in and out of the docs and hospital with my eldest recently for ongoing issues and I can’t work out if this bruising with my youngest deems another trip or not?

tx in advance for any advice x

Leukaemia bruises are everywhere, in unusuak places (tummy) and often have little dots where there's bleeding under the skin. Might be accompanied by bleeding gums etc and of course other symptoms.This article has more information about how to tell the difference Leukaemia care bruising article

My DD has plenty of unexplained bruises like this, and does not have Leukaemia. Unlike her brother who does. He never had unexplained bruising as a symptom, he did have petichiae (lots of little red pin pricks clustered).
I think if you are ever concerned it’s worth getting checked for peace of mind.
