Hello,
Bruised spots or lump in the hips are commonly due to heat rash(prickly heat), contact dermatitis, eczema, fungal skin. Avoid perfumes, fabrics like wool & polyesters, avoid extreme temperatures, wear cotton clothes. Apply medicated moisturizers. You can take antihistamines, Fluconazole & apply cortico-steroid cream after taking shower & patting dry your skin.
You are suggested to get physically examined by a dermatologist and get skin & blood tests done. If you are sexually active your dermatologist may tell you do STD tests, to detect any STI. If detected positive you will be treated with antibiotics / antivirals. Phototherapy is also effective but it depends upon the type of pathology detected & its severity.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Take care.
