What Causes Bruise On The Lower Part Of The Back?

My daughter is 3. A few months ago a bruise showed up in the middle lower part of her back. It has not gone away and got a little bigger. I'm concerned because when I was pregnant they saw a spot on the sonogram which they were concerned was spina bifida. They did not see the same spot on a follow up and chalked it up to her position. Should i be concerned?

Hi

I have gone through your query.

A swelling over the back can be seen with spinal bifida. However, there may not always be a rash only over the area. Many children tend to have rash or bumps over the skin. This can happen when a child is wearing tight clothing.

This can block sweat pores and cause the area to overheat. A few things that can help include wearing loose cotton clothing, staying in a ventilated room, and keeping the room breezy can help.

In case the rash is persisting or increasing in size, getting a check up can help. A biopsy or an ultrasound over the area would be useful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
