Hi,

This could be due to some insect bite or allergic reaction to something she has had or some substance she has come in contact with.

You could try to find out the cause and give some benadryl syrup if the rash is severe and apply calamine lotion at the sites.

You should consult a pediatrician at the earliest and if the lesions spread then you need to take her to the ER immediately.

Let us know about how she is doing and about what your doctor advises.

Post us about any doubts that you have.

Regards.
