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.

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

My daughter has red itchy bumps on her arms and feet. What could be the cause? She was diagnosed with a staph infection but the bumps persist. Bed bugs were mentioned but she is the only person being bitten. Could this be an allergic reaction to something
