Hi.
As per your case history your daughter is having acneform eruption.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a clindamycin gel like Glocin twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral doxycyline, minocycline and isotretinoin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
