Suggest Remedy For Red Bruise On Abdomen That Changes Into Purple
Question: My daughter has a weird pattern on her stomach. Looks like a bruise in a shape of a honeycomb. It started out red, now a bluish purple.
Brief Answer:
Livedo reticularis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
From the picture you are uploaded it looks like your daughter is suffering from Livedo reticularis. This is bleeding under the skin due to breakage of the smaller veins.
This is needs immediate assessment as various reasons can lead to this including Lupus and Vasculitis. Please do not ignore this issue and take her to the hospital immediately
For now I also recommend the following
1. Avoid travel until this is settled
2. Avoid strenuous exercises
3. Be extremely cautious around sharp objects
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
