Talk to experienced dermatologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Avoid contact with detergents of any kind to begin with. It's a contact irritant dermatitis a d it will aggravate if in contact with chemicals likes dish washing soaps. Being Covid +ve recently hasn't got much to do with this condition except that her immunity will be low.
She will recover with basic cream applications, preferably consult with ur Dermatologist before using any creams.
