You can get pens to colour in leather from sofa shops? We got one with our couch and its really good.

Firstly, you seem to have taken the news quite well

Not sure how severe the "melting" is, i.e. if the leather has totally disappeared then the colouring in sounds a good idea.

However, we had a similar incident where my 87 year old Gran - who still insists on a can of hairspray a day - looked to have done the same to the back of my brown leather sofa. I used saddle soap and after many attempts and slow progress what appeared to be the melting gradually loosened and the revealed the leather. Then whacked on a bit of leather cream.
Now, it is not back to normal - texture is different as the top layer has gone -but it at least looks fine from a distance and is usable. Good luck.

you call not worrying about my daughters health as taking it well hahahaha

It looked to have taken the colour out and looks like a scratch, if you imagine what a dogs toenail would do to it??
