What Causes Dark Purple Mark On Tongue Of An Infant?
Hello, right before I put my 8 month old baby to bed, I noticed she had a dark reddish-purple mark on the fron left side of her tongue. She is teething (one breaking through and another on the way). She sucks on her lower lip a lot as well. Could she have bruised it, or bit it? Could this be something else? She s never had this before.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The dark purple mark on the tongue can be because of the ecchymosis or hematoma secondary to trauma by biting caused by the erupting teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Nothing to worry, it is a self limiting condition. If there is any change in the size of the lesion them, immediately consult the oral physician. I hope I have answered your query, take care.
