Hi,
As per your query, your mother has symptoms of rashes which seems to be that fact that she is being exposed and re-exposed to the allergen and this is the reason that the allergic reaction is persisting. It could be due to contact dermatitis.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you take a proper course of antihistamine drug along with a short course of oral corticosteroids after proper prescription. Exfoliate your skin once in a week to remove the dead skin. Drink plenty of water. If the condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist again for proper diagnosis and to rule out any underlying condition. The doctor may prescribe isotretinoin, steroid ointment or antibiotics course.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
