Brief Answer:
Fungal skin infection or ringworm.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I see a photo of the rash you attached and it is clearly seen that it is a fungal skin infection or ringworm.
You can find antifungal creams over the counter in pharmacy such monistat or clotrimoxazol or lamisil.
She can apply them on skin three times daily.
If the infection still persists oral antifungals such fluconazole in a single dose may be needed under doctor's guidance.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
