What Causes Strange Bruise Like Rashes On The Buttocks ?
My son has a strange bruise like rash on his bottom. The only other symptom he had is a little vomiting yesterday. The rash looks like little speckled spots of bruises all over. He has had no falls or trauma to the area. Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi,
Your son seems to have developed a vasculitic skin rash. It may resemble a bruise in appearance.
Such lesions can occur over body due to various reasons like intake of various drugs, due to certain food stuffs or due to some infections in the body.
Buttocks and legs are common sites for appearance of such vasculitic lesions.
I would suggest that you should see a nearby dermatologist soon for its early diagnosis and management.
Hope it .helps

Hi,
After reading your query I can understand your sufferings bruise problem. You can go for simple blood tests such as bleeding time, clotting time and platelet count. If these are normal then there is no need to worry. For the red marks to you can apply cortisone cream and take benadryl by mouth. Most of the bruise do not last longer than 3 weeks. It may change color from black to yellowish green. Do not pinch or scratch the area as it may cause further problems. If these are recurring then can meet dermatologist for best management.
