Hi, thanks for posting your query

From the information provided it seems that she has a fungal infection. She needs to get it examined by a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Till then she can do the following:
Keep the area clean and maintain proper hygeine
Wash with a mild cleanser
Apply a cream containing a mild steriod and antifungal drug twice a day
An oral antihistaminic like fexofenadine twice a day

Try to contact a doctor as soon as possible

Hope this helps you .
