Hi light scabs on face and eyes rules out scabies.scabies does not occur on face.i think she is suffering from severe atopic dermatittis.
It can be treated by application of daily moisteriser all over body and application of diprovate g ointment over the lesions can cure the condition.use of atarax 25 mg at night.antibiotic twice daily can cure it.
Use of tacrolimus ointment daily can prevent recurrences
