The back of my sons earlobes are purple?

Needs exam: Without seeing this it is hard to say much. Purple could be bruising from trauma. It could be a sign of low platelet count or other blood cell line problem. He needs to have a complete history and physical exam to get to the correct diagnosis. Don't delay!
