What Causes Itchy Rash On The Stomach Of An Elderly Person?

Yes, my almost 8 year old has an itchy rash on her stomach and under arms and I think it is from bounce? It has lasted a week and I have gotten rid of the bounce - and it was bounce free - but there are still some clothes that she wears which I need to rewash. I have given her half of loratadome - maybe misspelled - and put cortisone cream on her itchy rash. Anything else?
