<human>: 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!
<bot>: 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. It might help to share the actual photos of this in a paid question, but if this is the only way you would seek help (i.e. through the free forum), I understand. Please revert with my name in the question, so that I will see it.
