My 8 year old son's chin (below bottom lip to mid chin) looks bruised. Small purple, red dots appeared yesterday morning and now are slowly fading to a bruised look. I'm curious to know what would cause this. He hasn't had any injury to the area.
maybe some pressure from a toy or something he has been pressing on his face ? laying on something in the night ?
You could always take him into the Dr. there are things that can cause speckly bruising but they can do a simple blood test to rule it out.
I had taken my son in for the same thing once. only it appeared on his thigh and was about the size and shape of a baseball. Turned out he was just fine and likely just failed to recall injuring himself. Probably happened in his mixed martial arts class. But better to be safe.
