What Causes Itchy Rashes Around Anus And Yellow Discharge?

My 4-year old daughter has an itchy ring like rash around her anus (red bumps). She's also had a yellow discharge for about 3 days, which she hasn't had before. Could it be a yeast infection? I treated with Clotrimazole 1% and cortizone cream as I didn't know what it is.
