Hello,
You did not mention the age of your daughter. Well, if she is in her early teens or past the first decade, these are sure signs of the onset of puberty. There is no need to get scared but maintain proper genital hygiene to avoid infections. You, being the parent, are the best person to counsel her and get her prepared.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
