Suggest Medication For A Skin Infection Around The Mouth
My 9 week old baby just developer some small flat red dots around the left side of her mouth. She also has some near her left eye and on the right leg. Also she has kind of a bruise in her ankle and by the toes. It does not seem to bother her and she moves her foot normally. It appear today.

Hi....by what you quote I feel that the kid might be having a bleeding disorder, either congenital or acquired... Mostly congenital, considering the age of presentation. The bluish discoloration you are noticing is a subcutaneous bleed or bruise and the small lump you are able to palpate is a subcutaneous blood clot.
Your child needs evaluation and I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible. This I am suggesting because - if the kid has a spontaneous bleeding like this internally, as she might require emergency blood products.
