What Causes Bruises On Lower Spine And Forearms?

My daughter has had bruising on her lower spine for about two weeks now. It looked like it was going away, now has come back again. Today, small round bruises popped up on both of her forearms. I would like to find out what could be causing this. Thanks

It would have been better if the age of your daughter were known.As you said,the bruises are appearing over lower spine and both forearms. some underlying blood disorders may be present or it may be due to some inflammation of blood vessels due to some underlying causes, but before commenting on that the following details are essential to know-
1.age of your daughter
2.any preceding illness like fever,loose motion,sore throat,etc
3.The mode of appearance of these bruises like whether they are spontaneously appearing or appearing after any trauma or continuous pressure,etc
4.whether these bruises are disappearing on applying pressure
5.whether there is itching or not
6.any associated problems like urinary problems,fever,cough,etc.
