Contact dermatitis
From the picture it seems to be either Nummular eczema or Tinea infestation I.e. ringworm. From details history of her work type & habits and exposure to irritants etc. & thorough and minute inspection may help you to confirm the diagnosis. If diagnosis is not possible clinically go for microscopy of scrappings' KOH preparation--if fungus with hyphae is present to confirm ringworm. If comes out to be ringworm ---oral and topical antifungal, antihistaminic for relief of itching etc. If it diagnosed as Contact dermatitis --avoid causative irritant substance, corticosteroid topical application and keep the area moist. May need symptomatic treatment with antihistaminic.
