What Causes Bruise On Pubic Bone Of A Child?

Hi, my 5 year old daughter fell hard onto the middle of a see-saw and has a very dark bruise on her pubic bone. The bruise is round and approx 5cm in diameter, it has a white centre though which is approx 1cm in diameter. Is this something that needs checking out or is it normal? Thanks
