A member asked:
My childs arm (6 months old) has red/purple bruising and looks slightly swollen.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arm: Probably a bruise either from activity or perhaps something tight around the arm. Bruising can be associated with systemic problems, ingestion of medication or other substance, but bruising more typical to be in more than one spot.
