Bruises and frequently Sick

Hi everyone. First sorry for any mistake since I’m not an English speaking person.
My toddler, a girl who just turned 4y old, has frequent infections but none serious, since entering school almost 1y ago, she was home before and almost never sick. She doesn’t bruise that easily since she’s super active and her legs are fine and no bruises on arms. But she has 3 bruises, really small yellowish, my concern is their location (1 on upper back, 1 on spine and 1 on lower right quadrant of her belly). I’m a super anxious woman. I’m stressing about hematologic conditions even the one I don’t even dare to write. Need advice, opinions 😞

If her arms and legs are bruise free I wouldn't be worried about leukemia is anything sinister like that. Those body bruises are more unusual though - does anyone else care for her? Illnesses are relentless, especially if she's not been in nursery before. We have 6-9 months of constant snot a year.

Thank you for your quick reply.
she goes to school but everything great there and she’s a parrot, talks about everything, she would tell. And they are really small my husband didn’t even see them. I had to show him with th cell lantern. Just wondering if anyone had toddlers now grown and healthy that sometimes had bruises on abdomen or torso, obviously not major bruises nor many

Sounds totally fine. Both of mine are constantly covered in bruises, I only know where about a third come from. As long as she's got plenty of energy then I wouldn't worry at all, they hardly sound big enough to count as bruises!

I think you are over worrying and perhaps a little over protective. Why didn't she go to nursery for example? She will be sick constantly as she has had little chance to build her immunity. Maybe talk to your GP about how you feel.
