Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for the skin condition of your daughter.
After diligently analyzing all the pictures the condition appears to be related to Hidradenitis suppurativa.
This is the condition which results in blockage of the glands resulting in formation cysts and swelling over the affected skin.
I suggest you to take appointment with dermatologist to get personalised guidance. It's a recurring condition so a long term treatment is required.
I hope this helps.
With regards,
