Hi,

Multiple white headed bumps on various parts of the body of your daughter mau be Molluscum contagiosum most probably. It is a viral a skin disease characterised by umbilicated whitish papules. There may or may not be itching. It may be secondarily infected. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the firm diagnosis.

I would suggest..

- salicylic acid solution or tretinoin gel to apply on each lesion
- antibiotics
- antihistaminics
- immunomodulator like levamisole

Do not worry,it is a benign skin disease and may clear in few weeks with proper treatment.

Thanks.
