If the child has history of Hashimoto thyroiditis, and history of skin allergies, This condition could be due to the same problem. Hashimoto is associated with Mucocutaneous candidiasis, vitiligo and alopecia and other ectodermal dysplasias. These bumps could suggest another allergic reaction to any antigen or it could be due to a dermal infection(? fungal). I suggest you consult a dermatologist and by that time , give her tablet Atarax one tablet daily.
Thanks and regards
