Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably she has developed an allergic reaction.
A mild steroid cream like cortisone twice daily for a week should help her.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
