Has your daughter been evaluated for Shingles? Had blood work for the Herpes Zoster antibodies?

Atypical shingles can occur in any part of the body. The rash can be bright red, resembling blood. Pain may occur without the rash. The armpit area is often involved.

Shingles can occur in children. I knew a 9yr old boy who had 2 outbreaks. It depends on the person's own immune system.
Sometimes only pain presents, with no skin rash.
