Dry skin?: Does she have a tendency to have dry skin? Sometimes it will flare up from swimming, using bubble bath, low humidity, etc. I would try to moisturize her really well twice a day with a good lotion or eucerin cream and see if that helps. You can give her oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) to help with the itching and even use a Hydrocortisone lotion for a few days, such as itch-x.
