What Could The Red Semi-round Non Itchy Patches On Shoulder Blade Be?

My daughter is 10 and is beginning puberty but not very far along (breast buds, armpit hair). This morning she got out of the shower and she had two separate semi-round red patches of skin on her shoulder blades about 4 x 6 inches in size extending to her sides.. They do not meet in the middle.. She then told me that her skin was bumpy. I applied some moisturizing lotion and sent her off to school. She is home now and the bumps are still there but the skin is not red anymore. When asked if it was itchy, she replied no.
