If you love her like you seem to, why don't you seek professional help? Please, don't put her health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect her mind and body. She must consult her doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

"Usually brown discoloration is old blood. It' s actually not uncommon at all. However, it is something worth having a doctor check, as it could be a sign of infection or tumors, although this is very rare."\n\nFor more on Hematospermia read this:\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/med/topic3466.htm\n\nProbably nothing to worry about, but if it persists see a doctor. Good luck.

Others seem to think it may be chicken pox.  That may indeed be the case.  In that instance, you may want to get her in to the pediatrician right away.  Sometimes, a call to the physician with a description of the symptoms may be enough to give you direction.\n\nIt also sounds as simple as heat rash, commonly known as "prickly heat."  (The latin term is miliaria rubra.)  You didn't indicate if the spots are raised or flat.  In prickly heat, her skin is reacting to a surface that it was exposed to, ie: her pillow, mattress, etc., and sweat has become trapped.  Although it generally appears on other parts of the body, it can appear on the face, depending upon where the exposure was.\n\nIf prickly heat is determined, then washing with a soft, clean washcloth, warm water, and a gentle soap is in order.  Certainly, a trip to her pediatrician should be next.  He may suggest nothing more strong than calamine lotion.\n\nI hope, for her sake, that it is something simple and not a more involved childhood illness.  In either event, quarantine her from the other family members, particularly if they are not innoculated or have not previously been exposed to chicken pox.

If the rash is changing then you really should go back to the doctor again.  I have no idea of what it might be...sorry

Marks like that are said to be heart, liver or kidney, so maybe you should go see a Doctor. \n\nBut it could be an old injury, just showing up now, I have a line that runs the same direction, but it's not colored, in fact most of my nails have this. As we age, we lose oils that we had when we were younger and we notice stuff that was once not there.

Sounds like an allergic reaction to a food or drug.\nSounds like you are ok now.  Did the ER not provide you with any additional info?

My first thought when you said red outline was lyme disease.http://www.lyme.org/gallery/rashes.html\n\ncheck out the pics and see if it looks like it.

I had chicken pox(yes, confirmed by Doc, not shingles) when I was 23. It started out with feeling unwell then turned into pleurisy(inflammation of the lining of the lungs)and I whistled like a tea kettle and could not inhale deeply without doubling over.The next day the spots appeared. My sons were 1 and 4 at the time and I gave it to them. It lasted for weeks and I had to go to the doctors every other day so he could make sure I did not get pneumonia. I had them on my palms, my soles of my feet, even my gums!(couldn't brush because they'd pop and spread.) I laid on the couch sick as a dog for 2 weeks until the baby got them too.He was relentless because every time I would lay down he would come pick my spots.I have 3 scars on my face from him. We laugh about this now that he's 11 but it wasn't fun at the time.

Bruises, also known as contusions or ecchymoses, are what develop when your skin gets smashed for some reason but not broken. The soft tissues are damaged, the little vein or capillaries under your skin rupture and the blood puddles up under your skin. That's why a new bruise is red. It's all that nice red blood pooling up.\n\nEventually your body goes to work and starts metabolizing the spilled blood. After a couple of days, the bruise will look black or blue. By the sixth day, it goes all greenish on you, and then a few days later, it will turn sort of yellowish brown. It all has to do with the chemical changes involved in metabolizing that blood and getting things fixed up in there. \n\nAnd the reason that older people seem to bruise more easily is that their veins and capillaries and so forth grow more delicate with age and are more easily ruptured. \n\nhttp://www.azcentral.com/news/columns/articles/0105clay05.html

It sounds like calcium deposits to me. If that is the case, you just have to let your fingernails grow. Cut them like you normally would until the white spots get far enough uot to cut them off

Just red, with no other symptoms? That is bizarre (MD here). Gotta suspect something vascular as the primary cause, but can't tell much given that we know nothing of your broader history (immediate and past).\n\nGood luck. If any redness begins to spread upward towards the armpit, especially if there are streaks of red going up your arm, and particularly if you develop a fever, then get your behind to your doc or your local ER, OK?

Could this be a sign of scurvy, lack of vitamin c or do you use bleach too often.  Try using gloves to do chores and moisturize your hand with cocoa butter at nights.

Could be both fungus and stain.  Arcrylic nails harbor all sorts of germs.  Nurses in some hospitals are banded from wearing them.\nConsult with your doctor.  You don't want to go around spreading disease.

sounds like blood infection.  (bacterial)  \n\nIF SCABIES: try ointments with CROTAMITON.  if this doesn't work, I bet blood infection is the answer to the riddle.\n\nTIP:  SEPARATE HER BEDDINGS AND OTHER CLOTHES TO AVOID CROSSING.  IF THIS IS SCABIES AND YOU SHARE THE SAME SOFA SEATS, BEDDINGS ETC. , YOU SHOULD BE SCRATCHING YOUR SKIN BY NOW.  \n\n****can't wait for 10 days????****\n\n(this one is unethical): try taking VIRLIX just once. one tablet, then nothing more.  it won't do your granny harm.  then see if she's losing the itchy sensation.  <---if that is the case, then it's blood infection.\n\nGO CHECK DOC REGULARLY.  \nJOMAR S.T.

The bruises should fade.  If you think they happened due to you rubbing too hard, you might want to check with your physician to see if you are anemic.\n\nIf you did not rub too hard, see your physician and take the product you used with you so that he can see it.  In the meantime, don't use the product again!

There isn't much you can do to speed up the healing process. If they don't go away on their own, your best bet would be to use something like Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs or another spray on product. It will cover the bruises and make them less noticeable. You can get it from any drug store and it isn't very expensive.
