Eczema Herpeticum??

My 3 year old daughter has had 2 spots on her face for a couple of months now. Whilst they have faded, they have not gone away. At the end of last year, we went to the doctor as she had a rash in the creases of her legs and arms, as well as a bit of a body rash. The doctor at the time said is was either interior/impetigo (I cannot remember which now) in any case those rashes went away, leaving just these two spots on her face. There is a slight indentation on one on the spots. 

We also went to a dermatologist who said that this looks like hemangioma, but I am not convinced. Can this occur at 3? 

The other thing I recently thought of is that just prior to the initial symptoms, my wife did have a cold sore, but I thought it was gone before this started. Is it possible to pass on without a sore present? 

Finally, Google is scary, hence my question to a forum. When you look at images, you see people covered with spots. Again, my daughter just has two. 

Any idea on what this is?
