Question
A three-year-old child has a slight black and purple discoloration on their lower leg. It feels a bit fragile to the touch and there is no pain. This has been going on for some time. What could be the cause? Do they need to go to the hospital?
Answer
I’m happy to assist. A three-year-old child’s lower leg showing a mild black and purple discoloration, if there is no history of injury, it is recommended to consult an orthopedic specialist at a top-tier hospital for a physical examination, check for tender points, and apply Fucithalmic ointment externally. Please monitor and treat accordingly, and be cautious to prevent any injuries. Overall, the issue does not seem serious, and I hope these suggestions help you. Wishing you health.
