Dear user,
These seem to be either allergy or due to insect bites. Nothing else seems to fit. I suggest an application of calamine lotion twice or even thrice a day, taking care that she doesn't lick the lotion or put the hands in her mouth. Five days of this treatment will definitely help her. If this does not help, you should see a dermatologist soon.
