16 month old DD has had a rough winter of constant viruses - the most recent one being this week. Temperature, runny nose, irritable etc. initially we put it down to teething as it looked like some teeth were poking through but I've started feeling similar the last two days too so looks like it may have been a bug! She's been her usual self the last two days, albeit still very snotty.
This morning, I noticed this red mark in her ear as I went to pick her up out of her cot (photo attached). It had definitely not been there during the evening when she went to bed. It isn't raised or bumpy to touch, it's smooth and almost under the surface of her skin. She has a similar mark on her bottom which she was born with! Could this be similar but just presenting now? I'm a bit of an anxious person so trying not to fall down a Google rabbit hole...!
My only worry is that after taking this photo in her bath tonight, I swear it looks slightly bigger than it did this morning. But can't be certain as I didn't photograph it then (really wish I had!!)
