I get this on rides when I am over two hours in the saddle... I don't stop and eat as I ride, so I think it is a matter of your glutes getting squished between your bones and the saddle and that, combined with the 'extra' compresion factor of bumps in the road surface, and you get bruising.
If it feels bad, I take arnica (a few drops in water) and the next day things feel ok again.
I don't use arnica cream in that area cause it shouldn't go on broken skin, and one never can tell - I can't see my own butt!

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
