What Does A Faint Bruise On Nose Of An Infant Indicate?

this evening I noticed a faint bruise between my 10 month old eyes over his nose. I don t recall him falling today or crying out while playing. I am concerned about it and plan to wake him up in a few hours to check on it. but I was wondering what else could cause it if he did not fall on a toy or bump his head on something. He also wears a helmet to reshape his head so he should be extra protected. The helmet was off for about an hour when I noticed the bruise.

Hello

Most of the time bruise in this age occurs due to unnoticed trauma.
Spontaneous bruise without any trauma can be there in some clotting disorder.
I would suggest you to check his body for any other bruise mark and if you did not find any.,you may observe the baby.
If you notice any increase in size of bruise, appearance of any new one or repeated bruise without any trauma please consult you pediatrician for proper evaluation to rule out any clotting disorder.
Regards
