Brief Answer:
Could be allergic rash, topical steroid & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

According to your complaints it could be an allergic rash.
If I was her treating doctor I would recommend her to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for few days.
