Brief Answer:
Seems to be allergic hives or urticaria
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the follow-up.
From the pictures,it looks like allergic hives.
This is not a abnormal condition rather it might be physical urticaria occurred as a result of physical touch,pressure, heat,cold,anxiety, exertion etc.
Secondly,it can be true dermatographism occurs as a result of pressure by finger tip,pen,key etc and it generally disappears after few minutes without any treatment.
So,if your daughter is suffering from this then first thing you don't have to worry.It subsides by itself or she may be given antihistamines like benadryl or avil or cetrizine etc which is available over the counter and the rashes will go away.
You can consult some local doctor or dermatologist for further advise.
If any query then you can ask me.
