What Causes Bruises On Spine Of Child?

my son has had bruising on his spine about four or five times since he turned one, he turned two last week. normally there is only one or two bruises at a time, once there were three bruises. and i only really am getting worried because he had one a week or so ago and last night had two (they have never been so close in proximity when he got them). there is nothing i can figure out that is causing them either. what could this be from? and should i be worried?

Hello! Thank you for writing! Do they appear in other body parts? Does your baby bleeds from excample, nose, or other part? I suggest you to do a blood test, thrombocytes, Hemorragic time, coagulation time, aPTT, PT to see if there is any problem with blood coagulation. Also better see a pediatrician, hematologyst.
Best regards.
