Red mark dented scar from intermuscular injection

Hi all, my little one had the Menb injection 2 months ago and has still got an indent in the top of the arm where the injection went. It is slightly pink/bruised, doesn't have a lump and is not raised. Can anyone advise please? There was quite a nasty bruise there initially but that has all got better now.

It can take a bit for the marks to go away, my little man is now 2, and it took a while for all the marks to clear up, but if you are concerned about it its best to get it checked by the nurse at the docs.

Thanks ever so much for your reply Tigery21. I'm pleased to say that it is starting to fade now :-) Must be that their skin is so delicate.
