Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.

It seems your mother has got acute dermatitis due to the pressure and irritation by the boot in contact. This may lead to secondary bacterial infection also.

I will advise you to visit your dermatologist in person for proper examination so that timely medication can be given to prevent further complications.
It usually get easily treated within 2-3 weeks of proper medications.
I hope it helps. If you have further query, you may ask me.
Stay healthy.
