A member asked:
Just discovered toddler top of ear and towards back is very bruised looking- its bright red, purple and black. didn't hurt it that i know. doesnt hurt?

Probably a bruise: Toddlers have a high tolerance for pain and are constantly injuring themselves so he may not have noticed a bruised ear. If you have any suspicions that he may have been abused or if the marks do not fade you take him to your physician.
