Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The symptoms looks like to be due to some form of allergy causing dermatitis which is giving you a moustache like appearrence..
It ca be due to biting of some insect or bug or coming in contact with some toxic chemical etc..
Applying only moisturiser is not enough and you should give her some anti allergics like Benadryl and along with it apply Calamine lotion over the rash..
Rub ice over the rash and do cool compresses intermittently..
Hopefully the rash will start fading gradually..
But if the rash exaggerate or there are any other symptoms then you should consult an Emergency room and get her examined..
For now nothing to worry..

Hope this information helps you..

Regards.
