It is difficult to be absolutely sure without examining your daughter. This could be rectal prolapse which would likely require surgery but it could also be "Infantile perianal pyramidal protrusion (IPPP)" which is a lesion that usually requires no treatment and resolves on it's own. If you are not comfortable with the treatment plan offered, then I recommend a second opinion. It is important for you to feel comfortable with the diagnosis and treatment plan.
