Any ideas?

So we went to bed about an hour ago and all of a sudden lo starts wiggling so I'm going looking for his pacifier and he just starts crying and I couldn't soothe him or calm him down for a couple mins I'm not sure what happened the only thing I can think is either he bit his tonge or I maybe (?) rolled on his foot while looking for his pacifier. But once I calmed him down I looked over him and the only mark I can find is on his head.. .
Any ideas for the red mark? Could it just be from crying so hard? Nothing fell on his head and once I calmed him down he went right back to sleep.

Its hard to tell in the picture but he could have just grabbed his head or something. I'm guessing maybe he was startled?

If mine cries really hard he gets all kinds of blotches around his head. The first time he cried this hard was after his two month shots and his face was so splotchy that we gave him tylenol thinking he was having a reaction. Since then we have discovered that the handful of times that he has been equally upset, he will get these terrible blotches around his eyes and forehead.  

If he was crying really hard, it could be that. Keep an eye on it. That's pretty much all you can do.

Thank you! Those responses made me feel better as to what it could be! .. It seems to have gone away so I'm assuming it might have been from crying who knows.

DS also gets splotchy after a good cry.

@lynnyloo : Mine was devastated to be in the room that they give shots this time too. The nurse was adamant that he has no recollection at this point, but my kid doesn't randomly cry when walking into rooms.

I was told there weren't any 9 month shots. Next scheduled shots are at 12 months. Unless maybe you are doing an alternative immunization schedule.
