Hello,
The symptoms of your wife seem to be related to an allergic reaction, probably due to the shampoo that she is using. The dermadew lotion is not a steroid cream. The major part of the lotion is aloe vera which has anti inflammatory properties. So, she can use it as long as needed. I also recommend to avoid harsh shampoos and use gentle shampoos for sensitive skin.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
