Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your girlfriend have symptoms of eczema and severe skin irritation. There can be many reasons for eczema like certain viruses and bacteria, weather, food like nuts, cosmetics products , pets , pollens and seafood. In your case the probable reasons is seasonal allergy. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep yourself away from open environment , use air condition , continue taking anti histamine like benadryl. If condition doesn't get improve or get worse then consult allergy specialist for proper examination. Doctor will take history and try to find out the trigger factor. Doctor may order allergy test . Doctor may give adrenaline short or may hospitalize. You should apply cold compresses to affected area and apply moisturizer.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
