Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be nummular dermatitis, ringworm or seborrheic dermatitis. Treatment of all is different. Ringworm is a fungal infection, nummular dermatitis is a sort of eczema and allergic reaction if one of its triggers. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky,dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face.

I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get the diagnosis confirmed first so that specific treatment can be started. Do not put clotrimazole cream because it looks like she is allergic to the cream.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
