Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Good treatment for her condition may only be proposed if the cause of the rashes is known.I would advise you upload images of the problem for viewing since your description not clear.There are many dermatological problems that may give you rashes and all these problems may have different treatment options.Possible causes may include: skin infection, irritation, allergy...
I will suggest she baths with antiseptic soap or solution like cyteal and continue with the prescription from the Dermatologist till you are reevaluated.
Hope this will help
Best regards
