What Do Black Spots On Spine Indicate?
My 8 year old daughter has 2 black spots on her spine. They have been there for about a month. They are very painful to the touch. We thought it was a bruise, but it is not going away. Do you have any idea what it might be? Thank you so much for your help!

Could you elaborate as to where on the spine are they located, their size and whether there is any redness, blistering or itching of the same. I think that most likely they are due to a skin infection that has healed and left the black spots behind.
