What Could The Bluish Lump On Shoulder Be?
My daughter was born with what looked like a bruise on her shoulder, she is 14 months, now it has turned to a mushy lump and it is still blue in color.Its about the size of a dime. I dont think that it causes any pain, she has no reaction when I touch it. Should I be concerned

Hello and welcomes to healthcare magic
From you description I conclude that it's a hemangioma.It's a blood vessel malformation created by collecting of blood vessel cells creating a benign swelling.There is a tendency of these lesions to regress and disappear by themselves.Therefore don't worry but just observe for any ulceration(open sore) and rapidly increasing size.These are the only two indication of removal.
Hope you find this satisfactory.Good luck..
