Sorry to say I can't offer anything here b/c I've never been in this situation. I do however, hope your mom gets some relief. I bet she's miserable. Good luck!!

Aveno baths, basically powedered oat meal. you want to dry up the blisters, so use witchhazle, or some thing similar. Calamine lotion.

I used to get it so badc my face would litterally melt, and I would have to go on steroids for weeks. Pretty bad when the only thing that would fit me would be my dad's undershirts. They would be the only things with a large enough neck-hole for my poor swolen face.

I was not a happy child.

The Aveeno in the bath works for me too. You can get it at Walmart or just about any drug store. I also use the Aveeno lotion with lavender. It is very soothing.

If it doesn't improve, she may need to be put on a steroid pack. That's what I always seem to end of needing. I hope she improves quickly. I have bad reactions myself and can definitely sympathize.
