What Is The Remedy For A Streak-like Bruise On The Top Of The Wrist And Hand?

Hi, My 3 year old son has a streak-like bruise on the top of his wrist and hand. There is no known cause. It almost looks like a stain on his hand. It has been there about a week and has gotten more faint but still fairly dark. What could this be? I am so fearful as the horror stories you hear with bruising . . .

Hi. IF this has occurred once only and at a given area only, it is more probably due to an injury which the boy may not be in a position to tell . Yet to make sure you can visit a Doctor who can see and diagnose properly. Rare condition of reaction to something can also be considered.
