That could be completely normal, unless there are any lesions on her skin that you can notice and describe to us. A picture as well would be of great help to understand the underlying nature of it. Pictures can be uploaded by requesting a consultation. Please do not hesitate to write to us again on the forum with more details about any possible skin abnormality.
