What Causes Reappearance Of Bruise On Injury Site?
my 5 yr old fell on the school bus steps making a 2 inch line horizontal on her thigh. It went away after about 5 days. now there is another bruise in the same exact spot shapped the same and everything. This is the week after the first one, but she says she hasnt fallen again and doesnt know why its there again. is that normal or should i be worried?

Hi...it the kid is otherwise well without any weakness or pain in the region - you need not worry. This might have been an internal bruising which might have been showing up now. If you feel it is disfiguring or if there is pain you can use Thrombophobe ointment.
