Hi,
From the description it seems to be a seborrheic dermatitis that will respond to topical steroids / anti-fungal lotions. Kindly show to your doctor. Meanwhile, she can take antihistamines like Levocetirizine once daily to relieve itching.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
