Hard to know: Can't know for certain without seeing it, but it might be lichen striatus. If so, it is not anything to worry about. Lichen striatus is benign, and goes away on its own.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.

Best to have her checked out and in the meantime, take pictures of the rash.
