Hey guys 👋

Our looked after child we have currently placed with us had her MMR jab last Thursday. She's completely fine in her self but her arm is bruised and doesn't look like a normal bruise.. it honestly looks like a bullseye around the injection point and swollen about 5-6cm going down her arm. Out of all the little ones we've taken for their MMR we've never came across this before 🥺 no temperatures or rashes just this awful bruise.. any help will be greatly appreciated

My DS had his and his leg was MASSIVE and bruised just as you described for days afterwards.
Within a week it soon disappeared.
Hopefully the same will happen for your little girl.
If you're worried speak to her GP if it hasn't gone by the end of this week x

Take her back to the GP
One of mine had a similar problem and the whole arm swelled up - antibiotics fixed it
