Shes allergic to aleve and iodine but has not had either of those. Shes taken benadryl to ease the pain and itching but it only relieves it for a couple hours.

Hi
The kind of skin lesions that you mother is developing raises the possibility of a vasculitis skin reaction.
Such a type of skin reaction can develop due to any kind of body infection or due to intake of any particular drugs or even due to chemicals and preservatives in food stuffs.
She surely needs to be assessed soon to look for the cause of development of such skin lesions. You should see a nearby dermatologist soon for confirmation of the diagnosis and thereby further management .
