Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these spots. I have reviewed them on the attached image and all the information provided. This raises the suspicion of a possible psoariasis. I will suggest that she follows up with a dermatologist. This is clearly more than a family physician. A biopsy should be considered to establish the definitive diagnosis and treat accordingly.
