Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms are highly non specific, rashes and bumps may due to some allergen causing these symptoms.it may be a generalized eczema.
If it is a allergen causing these symptoms you need to test for the allergen and found out the allergen causing these symptoms.
At first you need to test for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) to know whether you are having any allergic reaction. Then you can test for skin prick test to identify the allergen causing these symptoms.
After identifying the allergen we can decide the type of immunotherapy suitable and useful to your daughter.
Thank you.
