Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Your child could probable be suffering from allergic rashes. When any antigen, like dust, pollens, virus, enters into the body, it reaches to the bloodstream and then the body try to eliminate these antigens from the body, by forming antibodies.
After this these natural antibodies, attaches to the external antigens, and finally destroy them, this leads to inflammatory reaction,, due to this inflammation, there occurs redness, itching, pain, swelling.
In your daughter's case, the cause of spot formation is inflammation due to antigen antibody reaction.
Do not worry . Your doctor has prescribed benedryl, which is a antiallergic syrup.
Use this syrup for atleast 7-10 days, she will be all rite.
Precautions, you will have to follow---
1- Avoid her from dust.
2- Avoid direct exposure from sun.

This is not a serious entity,The above suggestions will help.
