Since 6 years old my daughter has been exposed to the sun. now her her hand are becoming dark but the rest of her body is fair. will she develop cancer in her 20s?

Unlikely: There is a link between number of sunburns under age 21 yr and development of skin cancers in later life. Your post does not suggest a sunburn. There are also genetic factors that play a role in this issue. I would noy lose sleep over the issue but consider investing in a good sun block for future use.
