Your mom may be having allergic skin disease. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to give her antihistaminics like cetirizine 10 mg tablet daily. If needed,a course of oral steroid in tapering dose may be considered. Application of mild steroid cream may be done. Avoid the contact with wooden clothes,soap,grass or othe suspected allergens.
Hope this helps.
