If it looks like ringworm, it is ringworm.
Ringworm is a skin problem that can affect many parts of the human body. When ringworm appears on the trunk, hands and legs, it is called ringworm of the body. It is also called tinea corporis. Different areas affected by ringworm are given different names. The ringworm of the scalp is called tinea capitis. Though the name is ringworm, this disease has nothing to do with any worm. It is caused by a fungus. As the rashes develop in a ring form, it is called ringworm. This is a contagious disease. Some people suffer from it all their life, off and on. Lets find out more about it because repetitive ringworm can damage the appearance of the skin.

Have her put some athlete's foot medication on it and see if it gets better. Ringworm and athlete's foot are caused by the same fungus. If it does not get better, she should see a doctor.
If it is ringworm, it is contagious.

It might be one of the many conditions caused by yeast (Candida). That can be transmitted by bodily contact, but it is unlikely you will get it from your mom. If her rash quickly subsides by use of an antifungal cream (generic in California is clotrimazole) then it is likely to be a yeast caused rash.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/GJQd7

let me see the pictures, if the skin is getting puffy it probably is ring worm, which is easy to get rid of with an anti fungi cream
