Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

Since when does she have these symptoms? Does she have allergies? Is she allergic to any food item? What males this rash worse? How did it start? Does anyone in family has similar symptoms? Are there any other symptoms like fever etc? Any medical history? Any medicine use? If you can upload a photo of the rask it will be helpful

For now she can bi given following treatment:
- Give her wash with mild soaps like Aveeno or Everyuth Naturals lemon and cherry facewas. After bathing apply vaseline on wet skin to retain the moisture
- She should not be drinking hard water. Please provide cleaner water with low TDS
- Avoid allergen
- Syrup cetirizine 2 drops upto twice a day can be used to relieve itching if needed
- Hydrocortisone 1% cream twice a day for 3-4 days on affected area can also be used to relieve itching

Dermatologist will help confirm the diagnosis.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
