Hi my 3 year old son has had some dark.almost red bruise marks on his lower spine right at the arch of his back. Its been present for the last year or so but doesnt seem to have much significance to him he doesnt complain about it at all and doesnt grow in size. He is tall and built for his age but i dont know what it could be. Any ideas?
