My 10 yr old daughter had about 5 pimple
like bumbs all the way around her abdomen
about a month ago and they came and
disappeared together. Now she has a few
on her buttocks and the itch terribly. She
is otherwise very healthy
What is it and should she see a
doctor?

According to your description
(“pimple-like bumps that itch”), it
seems that your daughter is experiencing
some type skin inflammation. It is very
hard to diagnose a skin disorder without
visual inspection (seeing it). She could
be experiencing anything from an infection
to an allergy, an irritation or something
else. You may consult your primary health
provider or a dermatologist if necessary.
