Brief Answer:
Dry discoid eczema. I suggest her to use a moderately potent topical steroid cream
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am Dr.Kakkar(Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
These dry, red, scaly patches at the angles of mouth seems to be a result of heightened risk for atopy and eczema during pregnancy. I would keep a possibility of dry discoid eczema.
I suggest her to use a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g fluticasone propionate (Flutivate Cream), twice daily for 2 weeks. This should make it fine.
Ask her to use a gentle soap for face wash e.g either dove soap or pears soap.
Regards
