Brief Answer:
Could it be PUPPP.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about her health care.
I have gone through your history and pictures and understand your concerns fully.
In my opinion it could be due to PUPPP( pruritic urticarial papules and plaque during pregnancy).
It can be treated with the help of antihistaminic and she can wash with leukwarm water and apply steroid cream or emollient cream to avoid dryness and itching.
She can use coconut oil with camphor also.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
