Infant With Purple Spots On Inner Lips Which Is Also Spreading. What Could This Be And Treatment?
For the past few days I have noticed my 6 week old boy has purple spots on his inner lips it started out in the center of his lip and now starting to spread. That has not been any trauma to his lips or body at all. I thought it would clear up in a few days but now I'm starting to get worried. What is it and what should I do.

Hi,
Please consult his pediatrician immediately to rule out probable viral or bacterial or mycotic infection of the mouth. Your baby is very small and need accurate attention.
All the best!
