What Causes A Painful Lump On Bruised Spot On Lower Stomach?
my 7 year old grandson had about a 2 nasty bruise on his lower stomach, didn t remember doing anything to get it. It faded, now a month later a dark brown spot appeared where bruise was, it had a lump under it and hurt him when we pressed on it. Saturday nite he was doubled over in pain, but it passed. the spot has disappeared but tonite he is sick to his stomach and does not feel well at all. can I wait to take him to the doctor tomorrow or do I need to go to the emergency room ?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the painful lump with bruised spot on lower stomach is most likely a sequence of bug bite episode. There is no need to visit an ER, as this can be easily managed at home till morning doc visit:
- Local application of ice
- Avoid tight clothing
- Dispersible tablet or syrup of ibuprofen with Acetaminophen
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
