What Does Blue Dot On Back And A Lump Signify In A 7 Months Old Child?

Hello, I have a baby girl who is 7 months old. I felt a lump on her back after a bath when putting lotion on her a few days ago. I could not find it the next day. Tonight I saw a blue dot on her back and felt the lump back in the same spot.... any idea what this could be?

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Blue dot with a lump could be a bruising or a bulge of her vertebra.
Some times blue spots without a lump in the back region could be mangolian spots which are normal variants.
If the lump is persisting or increasing consult the doctor for examination.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
