Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions your mother is having but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.From the description, it seems likely that your mother is having an allergic reaction called Urticaria.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY

Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
