What Is The Cause Of Bruises On Legs?

i am very worried about my daughter, as for some time now she has been getting bruises on just her legs, but the last two weeks she has also got bruises on her chest and arms. Her doctor told her not to worry only if the bruises, got on her upper body. Please help.
