Child's Vaginal Opening Is Red. Infection?

I have recently taken custody of a friend s 11v month old daughter due to her neglect care. She still goes to her mom s house some evenings. I have recently noticed her vaginal opening is red. When I first took custody she had a terrible diaper rash .could this be left over infection or should I investigate something more sinister?

Greetings of the day
It is very common to have diaper rash. Try using siloderm ointment which will decrease it. If it does not reduce then consult Pediatric Surgeon.
