It would really help if you could tell the drugs that she has been on for the past 17 months as the symptoms that you report maybe the side effect of one of the drugs. If your daughter has been on Temozolamide, which appears to be the case then the side effect is explainable as this drug is known to produce skin problems including rashes, oozing, excessive shedding of skin, patches. The water that is oozing is the normal lymph that is formed in all individuals. If it is too troublesome then you might have to change the drug in consultation with your treating physician
