Hello,
I suggest using corticosteroid cream if she has acute symptoms.
You should discuss with your doctor the possibility of phototherapy, which consist of using a special lamp to shine ultraviolet light on areas of her body that are often exposed to the sun.
It's generally done a few times a week over several weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
