Hi...the green marks you quote on her hips, back , hands, legs are called Mongolian spots and they will eventually disappear - do not worry.
Regarding complexion too - it is normal for all the babies to be pink and fair skinned when born and gradually the genetic component takes over and the baby will attain the complexion of her parents. There is no way a genetic skin complexion can be modified with drugs or creams.
