Is she overweight?  Weight reduction and avoidance of tight clothing/friction in area are important.  If she carries extra weight in the thighs and/or wears tight jeans these can be triggers.  Same with working out - friction + heat/humidity/sweat = trigger or exacerbating factor.  So loose clothes and keeping the area dry and cool.

Also, I've found that smoking has an association with exacerbations - perhaps this relates to lymphatic congestion?  So smoking cessation and lymphatic drainage would be good to look at too.  Finally, you may need to look at regulating hormones - as it can be associated with menstrual cycle changes.
