What Do Clusters Of Bruises On Lower Back Indicate?
My 4 year old has a cluster on small faded bruises on her lower back that I haven t noticed were there till yesterday.She has had a cold for about a week now. She doesn t complain of any pain in the area. Not sure whether it is connected or not. What could it possibly be?

This could be acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
That usually occurs after an episode of viral sore throat . and causes destruction of platelets which results in painless bruises. A platelet count with complete haemogram can be a good initial lab test to establish diagnosis.
Please rule out any trauma in that area.
