What should I do if there is a bruise on my daughter's calf?

Patient's question:

Hello, I recently noticed bruises on my daughter's calves. How should I treat them? Please give me some good advice from a doctor.

Doctor's answer:

This situation requires careful examination, and if there is an illness, it should be treated early. First, you should have a blood test to check for anemia and platelets, as normally, there should be no bruises on a child's skin. The appearance of purple bruises on the skin suggests subcutaneous bleeding, and further tests are needed to check platelet count and bleeding/clotting time. It is recommended to drink more water, pay attention to diet, and keep warm. Taking some traditional Chinese medicine for regulation will help it improve!
