The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is Tinea corporis which is a fungal infection. She has to avoid heat and humidity. Topical antifungal creams like clotrimazole can be used along with oral antifungals like fluconazole after consulting your dermatologist. Regards
