Hello and Welcome to healthcare magic forum!
The itchy rashes and scaly lesions are called tinea corporis or ringworm affecting the legs and hands.
Ringworm infection can be contracted from pets, or from any infected person of the things from an infected person.
this can be treated mostly with local antifungal creams but sometimes require systemic treatment methods orally, So , I suggest you to try homoeopathic treatment.
Wishing your daughter a complete recovery!
