Maria,
If you haven't already tried the antifungal1% clotrimazole cream which is available over the counter at most drug stores or Walmart, it might be worth a try. Another consideration is grapefruit seed extract which is an antifungal that can be made into a spray for topical application. It is available as a liquid concentrate and you mix drops of it with distilled water as described on the label and this liquid mix can then be put in a small spray bottle.
Another consideration is borax, which is also antifungal, made into a liquid spray solution, but for some people the high pH may be too harsh for facial application, which is a very sensitive area.

Maria, is she open to modifying her diet? If so, she can try for one week to eliminate dairy, sugar and grains.

Maria… You will need a few things:
* Facial Cleansing Brush Face Exfoliator (the type that runs on batteries)
* Tea tree oil soap (Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree Bar Soap)
*Tea tree oil
Have your daughter exfoliate her face 2x/daily. Wet the brush and rub it on the soap bar and exfoliate her face. It feels nice.
After washing off the soap bubbles, dry face and use a Q-tip dipped in tea tree oil to spot dab all the areas of concern. Do this for a week and it should clear up.
My sister showed this trick to me back when I was growing up in the 70's-80's and it worked like a charm.
