Question
There is a bit of black and purple on the calf of a three-year-old child. It feels a bit thin when touched and is not painful. It’s been like this for a long time, almost several months. What could it be? Should one go to the hospital?
Answer
I’m glad to assist you. The child is three years old, and there is a slight black and purple color on the calf. Has there been any history of injury? It’s advisable to consult an orthopedic specialist at a top-tier hospital for a physical examination to check for tender points, apply Fentolamine cream externally, observe and treat carefully, and take precautions to prevent injury. The problem should not be serious.
