Briuses: I'm not sure of your daughter's age. There is a diagnosis called Mongolian spots which are pigmented cells that during development form spots that look like bruises but if not this they could be truly bruises and need an explanation. It is not usual to see bruising in that location. Take a picture and have her checked. Make sure no one is hurting her. All the best.
