A more thorough examination is required.Chances are that something has pricked her sole which went un-noticed.If that is the case..it might even get infected.Some infections also start with lesion on sole.
Next Steps
Thorough clinical examination .Preferably physical .If not video consult
Health Tips
Report immediately if there is fever ,pain ,discharge or swelling

Try to wash with vinegar and use antifungal.
Better if you consult skin specialist or child specialist dealing with skin disease.
One may advice to go for skin mear test.
