What Causes Red Bruises On Different Parts Of Body?
My son had a light red bruise on his neck size of quarter. I asked where he got the hickey (haha). He said it wasn t in a teenage frustrated response. He leaned over to pick something up and I saw another one only more red. I said let me see that you have a bruise right below your collar bone. He pulled his shirt down more and I saw a third one. If this is not from promiscuity, is there a health condition that would cause it? They almost look like pinching marks?
Hello Thanks for the query. Asymptotic bruises are usually caused due to low platelet levels. Get him complete blood count with platelets checked. If that is fine you don't need to worry. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you.
