Hello,
I can understand your concern for the dark pigmented patches in your daughter.

I can get that these are present since 7 years which is quite long period of time for any thing to stay. I suggest you to meet a dermatologist and get her skin analyzed.

In your daughter’s kind of condition I generally go for routine skin examination along with woods lamp examination to differentiate between types of superficial or deep pigmentation.
If required I also go for skin biopsy of the affected area to know the exact entity of the problem.

I suggest you to not to self apply any cream as can harm your daughter’s skin rather than benefiting.

All the best.
