Dear parent,
first of all don't say she is adamant. Always trust your child. and let her know that you trust her and are concerned for her health and safety.
If there is one bluish discoloration at one site, check her whole body for similar discoloration. If there is none, wait and watch if its increasing or reducing, if she has fever, any local inflammation and rash appears in other parts, then take medical advise.
