What Causes Painless Bruise On The Back?

Hi! My 2 year old has what I first thought was a bruise on his back to the left of the spine. It s about 3 to 4 inches long and about 2 inches wide. It never turned typical bruise colors and it isn t dark enough to look like a café au lait type of birthmark. It is not painful to the touch and it s been present now for about 2 months. Should I take him to have it checked out?
