Bruise On Shin Bone Changing Color Is Normal In An Active Toddler?

My daughter is a active 33 months old. She has a bruise on her shin bone since she was around 9 months old. It will not go away. Sometimes the coloration fades a bit, then gets dark purplish/bluish/blackish. I don't want to over react, but that doesn't seem normal to me. people tell me I'm over reacting, but last time I over reacted, she needed tubes put in her ears due to way too many ear infections which caused her to lose some hearing in one ear. please help. Am I over reacting? Or is this normal for an active toddler?

Hi you are very much right. A bruise cannot go on like this for months together. I suggest you consult your dermatologist or pediatrician soon. But this is mor an emergency.
