Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

Your daughter is obese. She has striae due to obesity. Around striae she may have infected lesions...it may be folliculitis or impetigo. It is bacterial disease caused by staphylococci. Consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment.
Investigations may be done to rule out DM,HIV,internal diseases...etc. antibiotics like azithromycine may be given along with anti inflammatory drugs. Antioxidants, vitamins,minerals..etc may be given. Exercise and dietary control may be done to reduce body weight. Antiseptic dettol may be used in bath to improve physical hygiene. She may be alright. I hope she may be alright.

Thanks.
