Eval: I think that this should be visualized with a comprehensive history to determine the cause of the new onset discoloration.

Have her seen: There are many possible causes for skin discoloration. It would be impossible to list them all here or diagnose without seeing your daughter's skin. I would recommend having her seen by her doctor. If an in-person visit isn't possible, you may be able to do a telemedicine visit to start with. You could then be directed to further evaluation if necessary.
