It looks like she maybe has granuloma. My daughter had this too. Quite normal I was told, as i was concerned by how 'raw'the skin looked. All looks fine now at 8 months and probably did by 4 months.

Yes it looks fine. It’s still just healing. If it was infected it would be swollen and red and probably with a smelly discharge.
