Children's legs are often bruised

In life, many parents often find that their babies have bruises. In fact, if the bruises on the baby's body are not caused by collision, it is probably due to lack of vitamin C. Parents should give the baby some vitamin C or eat some fruits and vegetables with high vitamin C content. If the bruises are caused by collision, you can apply some safflower oil. So what should I do if my child's legs are always bruised?

There are several reasons for bruises on the body: 1. Thrombocytopenia 2. Decreased vascular fragility 3. Decreased coagulation function 4. Decreased bone marrow hematopoietic function. Each cause is caused by multiple diseases. The specific situation can only be determined after examination in the hospital.

If there is no trauma, consider the possibility of thrombocytopenic purpura and scurvy.

Suggestions: It is recommended to further check the platelet count and the coagulation time. Pay attention to avoid fatigue, eat more vegetables and fruits, actively supplement vitamin C, and seek further examination when necessary.

Bruising of the skin may occur due to:

Purpura or purpura is a manifestation of excessive subcutaneous bleeding. The color is red at first, and turns purple or yellow over time. Some people will get a bruise on the local skin if it is slightly bumped, while some people will get a bruise on the skin even without any collision. This phenomenon is common in clinical practice, especially in women. No other abnormalities were found after multiple examinations. It is called "simple purpura", which is sometimes an early manifestation of a certain hemorrhagic disease and deserves attention. In summary, there are three reasons why subcutaneous hemorrhage forms purpura:

1. Thrombocytopenic purpura: These people have lower platelets in their blood than normal. Because platelets are one of the most important factors in the blood coagulation mechanism, bleeding is more likely to occur when their number decreases. The more you reduce, the greater the chance of bleeding. It is more common in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia (platelet production disorder in the bone marrow), leukemia (the bone marrow is filled with leukemia cells, affecting platelet production), taking certain medications, severe infection, and hypersplenism caused by enlarged spleen.

2. Capillary lesions: Due to damage to the capillaries, blood can easily leak from the capillaries to the subcutaneous tissue and cause purpura. The most common is allergic purpura, which can be caused by taking certain medications, foods, or inhaling certain substances. This type of purpura is often distributed in a bilaterally symmetrical pattern.

3. Coagulation disorder: There are more than 10 coagulation factors in the human body. The lack of any one of them can cause.

Generally speaking, recurrent skin purpura, in addition to simple purpura, should also be considered thrombocytopenia, capillary lesions and coagulation disorders, and a comprehensive examination must be conducted in the hematology department.
