This happened with both  my niece and also with my neighbor's little girl (and until a few months ago, I had never heard of it!!).  The doctor in both cases said the teeth were pushing and causing preasure/bruising on the gums.  Massage the gums (with your finger, teething toys, etc.) and give your LO Motrin if you want... teeth are coming soon!
