Multiple options: You can tie a string tightly around it and it may fall off over time. Her PCM may freeze it or, if large, may excise it. Unless it is causing your daughter cosmetic inconvenience or abrasion from clothing (such as on a belt line), it is also OK to leave it be.

See your doctor : It is possible your primary care provider can cut it off in the office. Easy, and quick. Hope this helps!
