Worried For Lump On Wrist Of A Child
Hi, My 6 month old baby has a dark bruise to the inside of his wrist. under the bruise i can feel a pea sized lump. when i press the bruise/lump it does not seem to cause him any discomfort but i m worried. He has not had any unusual bumps/falls today (he s just learnt to sit up so does occassionally fall onto a toy or two) but has not cried out after any falls. should i have him checked out or is this normal and will it go away?

HI,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,your baby seems to have lump on the wrist from an old insect bite / or from old toy hit which has given this painful bruise on his wrist.
Try-
Hot Compresses
Wait and Watch for 3-4 days.
If it increases ,check with your doctor and would treat it by anti-inflmmatory / and antibiotic medicines if need be,after needful physical and test investigations.
Hope this would resolve your worry.
Welcome for any further query in this regard
Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
