How to Perform Ablution for a Psoriasis Patient

Question
A lady has been suffering from psoriasis for 30 years all over her body, and when her psoriasis flares up, she experiences itching after performing ablution to the point that it causes bleeding. Is it permissible for her to wipe over the ablution parts from which blood may flow?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If washing harms her, and trusted doctors have advised her not to wash, it is permissible for her to wipe. And God knows best.
