Whats the bump-like bruise that appears reddish on my babys forehead whenever she stretch and cry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bump: If the area is raised then it may be a mastocytoma, which is a benign birthmark like collection of cells which release histamine when stimulated forming a hive. Otherwise it could be an infantile temporary birthmark called nevis flammeus or angel kisses!
