Brief Answer:
Gynaecologist examination and ultrasound advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting us with your health concerns

It is not a good sign to have spotting like this at her age and causes can range from mild ones like a polyp, erosion or ovarian cyst and severe like Pre-cancer lesion of cervix or uterus.

So in my opinion she should get herself examined by a gynaecologist and of course an ultrasound at the earliest.

Another simple cause can be an early pregnancy and in case she has a slight doubt then please get a urine pregnancy test as well

Regards
