What Causes Sacral Dimple With Bleeding?
Hello. My 6wk old daughter has a deep sacral dimple which seems as though it has started sporadically bleeding. There has been blood in her nappy that coincides with the place her simple is and when wiping her the other day, there was a reddish colour the wet cotton wool pad - again, when I wiped that area. Should I be concerned?
