Brief Answer:
Eczematous dermatitis

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

She seems to have eczematous dermatitis. I suggest her to use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g. mometasone furoate 0.1% ointment (Elocon ointment), twice daily for a few days. In addition she may take an oral antihistamines e.g. cetirizine 10mg tablet once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching. These are prescription medications.
