Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
The lesions of herpes are spreading fluid filled vesicles or blisters in clusters, though they may start as red spots but soon turn into vesicles, they are painful and itchy and subside after bursting.The lesion doesn't subside and return in a day or two ta rather persist for few days, burst, then heal over a week.
So the description of lesions doesn't exactly match herpes.Morever genital herpes is caused by HSV 2 which spreads through sexual contact and causes genital lesionswhereas HsV 1 virus cause herpes labialis i.e herpes around mouth.
So I dont think your brother has transmitted herpes to your daughter.
The most likely causes for such bumps could be a bacterial or viral skin infection or eczema dermatitis.
You need to consult a dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and starting apropriate antibiotics if required.
Meanwhile maintain adequate skin hygiene and avoid any chemical cream application unless advised by doctor.Topical antibiotic creams like mupirocin might provide relief .
Regards
