Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of red bumps on face and neck. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like contact dermatitis , skin infection , eczema, bug bite and other medical condition. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to stop using any cosmetic product. You should only apply petroleum jelly and protect your skin from sun exposure and apply broad spectrum sunscreen when in exposure to sun. You should take over the counter antihistamine medication like benadryl. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically , take history , order skin test for allergy and blood test. Doctor may order corticosteroid ointment, anti allergic medicine, antibiotics and may alter the dose of zolpidem or prescribe substitute.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
