Hello Doctor, with regards to the previous conversation I have attached two images that show drool rash.
Also, there is another strange thing that we noticed yesterday. The same daughter that is having drool rash also has another area on the thigh that was initially red in color but hard when touched, it later swell and became blistery. My kid does not feel any pain when we touch the area and the skin is a bit hard in that area.
I have attached separate images for that as well.
We recently gave her the MMR (measles) vaccination, not sure if this has to do anything.
Please let me know what you recommend?

Brief Answer:
Looks like pyoderma or herpes or viral exanthem
Detailed Answer:
Hi... Ihave jsut seen the images. It looks like -
1. Pyoderma - a skin and soft tissue bacterial infection.
2. Herpes - a viral bullous infection caused by herpes virus
3. Trivial viral exanthem.
The first two require a physician's or pediatrician's evaluation and either an antibiotic like Amoxicillin - Clavulenate or an antiviral like Acyclovir.
I suggest you get in touch with your pediatrician.
