Red marks on my toddlers spine

by ShakinThingzUp, May 19, 2008 07:52PM

Tonight, I was changing my daughter into her PJ's and noticed red marks along her spine. There are three red marks that look as if her spine had pressed into her back, leaving red marks.... She didn't seem sensitive when I touched them, and they did not seem raised - almost like red bruises...

Can anyone tell me what this might be? I've never seen anything like it.

Thank you in advance for any help!
Amy

Does it look like she fell on her back, or fell backwards into a hard chair, and there are bruises where her spinal bones compressed the skin?

Sort of... but, there are no scratches or marrs to the skin, so it concerned me a great deal last night. This morning, it has already faded, making me believe it was just bruising and no one noticed it at the time she must've fallen during the day yesterday (She stays with Grandma during the day while I work).

Thank you & God Bless!
Amy
