Hi,
Best way to address long term skin allergy is to evaluate for the possible allergens. If any is found, to avoid them or to consider desensitization.
That being said, can you describe her symptoms in details. Is the problem present every day or if it worsens at particular time of day / season? And if you have pictures of the affected skin, it may be helpful. There is an option to upload images in the upload report section.
Awaiting your reply...
Regards

Brief Answer:
Allergy are preventable conditions...
Detailed Answer:
Apologies for the late reply....
Your description of extreme itching with welts (swelling) seems to be related to allergy. However allergy are preventable condition. The only known effective curative treatment is desensitization method. But desensitization only works when the causative allergen is found.
Based on your description lemon, acidic substance and the chutney you mentioned may be contributing to the symptoms along with other unknown factors. If she is unable to configure it, she can contact an allergy specialist or a dermatologist who can perform skin patch allergen tests with known allergens to determine the causative agent if possible.
Sometimes few other dermatological conditions could mimic extreme itching. A physical examination of the affected area can help us rule out other possibilities. Therefore I will urge her to visit a dermatologist for clinical examination as and when possible to rule out other possibilities and to discuss about skin patch test.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
