Topical steroid and oral antihistamine.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Thanks for your query...

I have noted your concern and I have viewed the image.

Perhaps she has papular urticaria or is hypersensitivity it's to an insect bite.

I suggest you apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g. Fluticasone Propionate or Triamcinolone Acetonide cream. In addition, I suggest her to take syp Cetirizine for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope this answers your query...
