Hi all,
my daughter has always bruised easily and she’s very active - always climbing / jumping and falling off her scooter etc
do these leg bruises look normal? I took this photo earlier and now feel a bit panicked about the number of bruises.
thanks

I remember my daughter on her 1st day of school last year cam down the stairs with her new white ankle socks I looked up and seen her legs and told her to put her knee high socks on as her kegs were covered in bruises.She learnt to ride her bike that summer and her legs took the most off it so didn't want questions 🫣😅

I'm a little girl, and I'm running around, and I trip over? Bruises on both legs.

I fall backwards off something? Bruises on my elbows.

Are you quite okay?

I had a severe blood disorder as a child. It was very clear from my level of bruising that I was unwell. This to me looks normal. I also get a bit panicked with this regarding my own child and find a quick check in with a doctor settles me down xx

Yes, thanks. Just using illustrative text to make a point.

How are you?
