My son is 4 months old. he was taking a nap in my arms, when he had woke up i noticed he had a raised bruise that covered his shin with red spots.

See below: Is it a bruise or a raised red welt? If the areas are actual red/purple bruises, then get the child seen now, especially if fussy, febrile, or any breathing problems.
