What Is The Red Colour Lump Near The Rib Cage Of An Infant?
I have a 2 month old boy and I just noticed a lump the size of a nickle, raised and reddish color to the skin area at the bottom of the right side of his rib cage. I have an appt with the pediatrician in the morning but am anxious about a thought of what it could possibly be? any help would be appreciated.
Hi.... by what you quote I feel that it could be a hemangioma or cluster of small blood vessels, which you are observing. The Other possibility is that it could be a bleeding disorder, but it would have been bluish black and not red lump like this. I suggest you either post an image of the same on this website or get it exam examined by your pediatrician. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
