Detailed Answer:
Hello Mrs Alpna XXXXXXX
I had gone through your question very diligently and I really appreciate your concern for your daughter.

Since she has rashes in genital area so she might be having some infection which might have spread to the urogenital tract.

In my opinion you should go for urine culture and sensitivity test and if required a course of antibiotics depending upon reports.

If possible uplaod me the scan copy of reports and a photograph for better assessment of the condition.

Give her regular feeds/fluids and ensure good urine output which will help by flushing off the urogenital tract.

Please feel free to discuss further, I will be happy to help you.
Best wishes
