Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having capillary hemangioma of the eyelids.
The treatment is by use of intralesional injection of steroids.
Most of them will respond to this and resistant cases may require surgical excision.
Hence your doctor' s advice is right and you can follow it.
Thank you
