Brief Answer:
Possible fungal skin infection.

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

It would be better if you attach a photo of the rash.
Taking count of symptoms and also the fact that she is an athlete I think it can be a fungal infection of skin caused by candida.
She can use topical antifungal creams such monistat or clotrimazole over it.
Also reducing the excess moist from skin is important like changing wet clothes soon, wearing cotton cloths, use gently soap to clean it and dry skin properly after washing.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
