Patient's question:
3-year-old child has slightly dark purple on the calf, feels a bit weak when touched, no pain, has been like this for a long time. It seems to have been this way for several months. What could it be? Should I go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to assist you. The child is three years old, and their calf has mild blackish-purple discoloration. If there is a history of trauma, it's recommended to visit a Level 3 hospital's orthopedic specialist for an examination to check for any tender points. Apply Flectorin cream externally, carefully monitor the treatment, and be vigilant to prevent further injuries. The condition should not be serious. This is the advice for the question "What should I do if a 3-year-old child's calf is slightly blackish-purple?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
