Child Seen With Big Bump On Forehead, Small Bump In Arm. Says It Is Hurting. Dint Change Diet Or Bang. Hives?
Hello my 7 year old daughter came home today with a big bump on her left side of her forhead and a smaller bump on her right arm by her elbow and on her right calf, she says that they hurt when touched but she did not eat or drink anything different and she said she didn't bang herself in any of these areas, could this be a form of hives?

Hi,
The history of trauma needs to be reconfirmed once again.Is there Bruising?If there is none then it could be a hive or some kind of spontaneous bleed.
You could apply calamine lotion and give her a painkiller and antihistamine .If the bump increases in size then get her examined by her doctor so that few investigations could be carried out.
