Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 19th month old son has been having dark brown stains on the tips of his index fingers for over a month. The brownish color is darker some days than others. looking closely it looks like burst blood vessels but i can not be sure. Any ideas of what this could mean? Thank you.
It could be of great help if you can send a photo of his index fingers to me so I can evaluate the changes myself. I think you should see his pediatrician as soon as possible as this has been going on for a month now. We should rule out local and general problems especially those related to cardiovascular system. To me, should see pediatrician as soon as possible. After a good physical examination, he/she will guide you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
