What To Do If Child Has Matching Bruise On Both Feet?

My 14 year old daughter has a bruise on the top of both of her feet, across the knuckles of her 2nd & 3rd toes. It s very strange because it is on both feet. Her only medical history is a very low vitamin D deficiency for which she takes OTC vitamins to control. Should we be concerned about the odd matching bruises?

Hi...matching bruises are odd...I agree. But we need to investigate for bleeding disorder if the bruising is due to a very trivial injury. Other possibility is that it could be a pressure induced discoloration of skin.
