I would want to be sure whatever process is causing this is stopped before too much of her pad is gone.... could possibly become very nasty...
I agree with both lilymae and kjc. I would take your little girl to see a doctor. If the skin is burned, it is so open for infection. It is not worth the risk, and I believe it is far better to be proactive in their care.
