Bump on kids head caused from suction

[Deepseathree]

So odd post, but my kid and I were using a suction cup, not very strong at all, and I put it on her forehead, she’s 5 so we were just having fun.

Well the area turned red which I guess is just from the blood coming to the skin. It’s been there for two days and has started to dissipate. We a bump has shown up now. My worry, which is pretty far fetched, but just looking for some rationale, is that the suction caused a clot in the vein on her forehead as she has one in the area we put the suction. It’s not a large protruding vein, but it is visible with her fair skin. I know that seems crazy, but that’s where I’m at.

Hey there - in my opinion, unless it gets super swollen, then I don’t think there’s any reason to be concerned about it. Probably just gave her a good mark from having too much fun LOL
