Hi..the condition you described is known as urticaria.You should consult a dermatologist to know the exact cause for it. Get her few investigations done like absolute eosinophil count and serum IgE levels done to have an idea about the ongoing allergic reaction in the body. Start giving her tab levocetrizine 5 mg at bed time and calamine lotion for topical application.
Post her investigations report so that i can guide you further regarding the management.
Hope this post is helpful to you.
