She is having hand dermatitis due to use of detergents. It is a type of eczema and will happen again and again unless she stops detergent from coming in contact with her skin.
She should use non-powdered thick rubber gloves while handling any detergent and even while cutting fruits and vegetables.
Hands should be kept well-moisturized at all times.
Specific prescription can be given on online consultation, so please do that or visit your nearby dermatologist.
