Hi,

Your daughter would have prurigo lesions and the lesions may be infected. That is why they are painful. Prurigo may be due to some cause..irritants or allergens. Even insect sensitivity may be responsible. Your doctor would guide you after thorough history taking and examination. He might give her.. Antihistaminics,antibiotics and steroids in tappering dose along with mild steroid with antibiotic cream to apply on the lesions. Soap bath and suspected triggering factors should be avoided to prevent the relapse.

I hope this would help you to manage your daughter's problem.

Thanks.
