Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your description of the lesion, it seems to me that your daughter has developed a cryotherapy(ice) induced blister. It could occur as a result of cold injury from cryotherapy.
I suggest that you could apply an antibiotic cream like 2% mupirocin or 1% fusidic acid twice a day till the blister heals.
The corn sometimes falls off with the blister.
If there is redness/swelling/pus discharge, please contact your doctor as it may suggest infection and may need oral antibiotics.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
