Brief Answer:
add a topical steroid cream
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
She may want to try an over the counter steroid cream. These creams help reduce irritation to the skin.
An example of an over the counter steroid cream is hydrocortisone, applied twice daily. If this is not strong enough then she may need a prescription for a stronger steroid cream from her doctor.
Dermalex is a good cream but it would not be as effective in anti inflammation as hydrocortisone.
It can actually be used along the steroid cream since they are completely different.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
