I need help and I am hopeing that i can find the answer here. My grandson is a year and a half old. About four months ago he started with a absess under his arm. When it was drained there was clear liqued in it. About two days later his testical swelled up and that was draind out. There was also clear liqued in his testical but there was blood on the lining of the testical. After that about four days later he started develpoing fluid pockets on his head. They were bout the size of a coin but after the bump would appear it would bruise.
These bumps have gotten much bigger and the swelling is unbelevable. There are now heatomas in between his scalp and his bone.
My grandson is not being abused but this is causeing a massive amout of problems for us because the doctors here can not find a medical reason for any of this.
Please help me.
