Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
You should consult your doctor at the earliest for a complete physical examination. Your doctor may order certain investigations based on the physical examination findings. Further management depends on the diagnosis made. So consult your doctor for a examination to identify the cause.
There could be several causes for that abnormal discoloration of the skin. Is your daughter passing urine and stool normally? Is there any associated itching?

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
