Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Heyang
Children with hemophilia typically exhibit varying degrees of skin bleeding, which may become more severe after strenuous exercise or trauma and can lead to localized bruising. Some pediatric hemophilia patients may also experience bleeding in joints such as the knees, ankles, elbows, or shoulders, and in severe cases, hematomas may develop in areas such as the thighs or arms.
