Brief Answer:
Irritant contact dermatitis, apply steroid antibiotic cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it looks like irritant contact dermatitis.
If I was her treating doctor I would recommend her to apply a steroid antibiotic combination cream like mometasone and fusidic acid cream on the affected areas twice daily for 5- 7 days.
This will resolve it.
