Hi there. My on is 4 years old and is on an 18 month waitlist to go and see a specialist in Calgary. I m just concerned about a spot on his head. He was born with it and it didn t seem to be much of a problem until the last year. It s a light pink colour, maybe the size of a looney. His hair has never grown in there, and it sometimes turns a bit darker in colour if it gets too much sun. We always try to cover it up, but lately he s been scratching it and it bleeds a little. It doesn t seem to bother him too much, but it definitely worries us. Just wondering if it s something we need to worry about too much. It s really strange because nobody in my family or my husband s family seem to have anything like this. Should we be worried?
Hi...by what you quote, I feel this is a hematoma or a venous malformation over the skin there. But as you say it is bleeding a bit, I think it is a matter or concern. Such hematomas are bound to form ulcers easily. If it forms an ulcer and if there is fever, I suggest you take him to emergency room. Regards -
