Hi there ~

I understand your concern. If your pediatrician has not run a serum test for HSV I and II, I believe that you need to have them. You have also not indicated what testing has been done and what suggestions have been given to you regarding your daughter's condition. I would have you take the opinion of a dermatologist. I think that it will be helpful to get these tests and be reassured that it is not something that needs medical attention. However, I hope it is just a congenital condition that would not need any treatment and would subside over time. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
