Default Somethings up with Bernies bum :S

Just checked on all the spids, and Bernie was up on the side of her tank. (L.parahybana)
I saw some strange marks on the underside of her abdomen, its hard to explain.
Both marks are in the middle of her abdomen, one of them is just lower than the posterior book lungs, and is light brown, it doesnt look like substrate to me.
The other one is closer to her spinnerets and is almost like a dark reddish blob
What could these marks be from? could they be some sort of parasite??
I havent noticed any change in her behaviour, she hasnt eaten since middle of last summer and spends a lot of time in her water dish.
Ill try to get some pics later

Maybe some blisters or lumps from a moult from before? Just make sure she doesn't get too fat incase they rupture.

Stick some pics up we will be able to better direct you really. Personally althoughh i know they are real, iv never experienced any blisters or lumps on any of my spiders at any point, so i dont know how likely that is.. Atleast with my collection its probably not liekly
