It's probably just mild acne. I suggest you have ger wash with a soap containing 2% salicylic acid (ask your pharmacist--it doesn't need a prescription.) Then show your doctor next time you take her. He or she can make other suggestions. Also, ask your daughter not to pick at the spots, since that makes them look redder, even though it won't scar her.
