Hi sorry to hear that your daughter is suffering from down syndrome which is soo bad that it does not have any specific treatment. The condition of skin is not due to medicine but there might be some other underlying cause. Just get her weight reduce by diet as she is not able to do any physical just cut down her fat and carbs make her on lots of fruit and vwgitables which ll definatly make her to loss. Just regularly visit to doctor and do consult for her for any small eliment. Bye and take care.
