Hi,
Rash in the armpit with fever is usually caused by hair removal process, heat rash, contact dermatitis, eczema, etc. But she is getting fever because the infection is spreading through the lymph nodes. Get her physically examined, she needs antibiotics, antihistamines & acetaminophen. She can apply hydrocortisone, anti-fungal creams for relieve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
