Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
It is very difficult to comment on the lesion without having a physical examination of the same. Please get your daughter examined by a paediatrician to arrive at a diagnosis.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
