Broken blood vessel on face?
by G. Baer, Aug 06, 2000 12:00AM
My 9 year old daughter was at a Scout meeting 8 months ago. A little girl next to her opened up a magic marker, hitting my daughter on her cheek with the cap of the marker. There is a red mark on her face which has not gone away. Is it a broken blood vessel? If so, what can I do to get rid of it or reduce the redness? It has been 8 months already and it's such a shame to see this red mark right in the middle of her face. Thank you very much.
