Noticed Purple Spots Below Ear Lobe. Could It Be Bug Bite?
Question: Hi just noticed my 2 half year old with a purple XXXXXXX below her ear lobe has faded but im panicing she has just come ova the bug on saturday could it b 2 do with that
Hi,
I can very well understand your concern!
You say there was a purple XXXXXXX that has faded now!
It can be a scratch XXXXXXX or minor injury with a toy or any play tool!
What bug she had? Viral fever??
It is unlikely that this is related to the bug as it is only a single lesion and that too a transient one!
Just keep watching!
She should be OK.
Take care
God bless
