my 16 year old son and his girlfriend were
just horsing around, and she tried to give
him a "hickey" on his back, but when she
sucked on his skin for only a couple of
seconds, he began to bleed. This freaked
them out, so they came and showed
me....she sucked on his forarm for about
three seconds, and it actually bled! when
we wiped away the blood, there was no mark
whatsoever!! She did it again on his
shoulder, and it happened again. My son
was diognosed with chronic mono a month or
so ago, but as far as I know, he has no
other condition. I'm very concerned, but
his dad very rarily lets me take him to
the Dr. Should I persist. Is this
something normal, or could this be
something serious? Please respond!

it could be his girlfriend who has the
problem. the roof of her mouth may be
sensitive and bleeds when pressure is put
on it. has anyone else tried sucking his
skin to see if it still happens?

Bleeding Skin Posted: 06-17-07 08:39am
the following is my question the other
day, and your response, which I appreciate
very much. Your response was exactly what
I thought of too, so I made him try it on
himself, and sure enough, no blood. I
also had the girlfriend do it on her arm
too, and there was nothing. I've never
seen this before, and like I said before,
he's had mono for about 4 months, what the
Dr. said was "chronic mono", so I'm hoping
this isn't a complication from that. If
you've ever heard of anything like this
please let me know. I also mentioned
before that his father refuses to ever let
me take him to the Dr, but if this could
be serious, I will anyway (that was how we
found out about the mono). Thank you for
your response.
