She have a rash on her lower back and in her vagina. Will it get any worst? Her doctor gave a cream to put on the rash and a tablet to take. What else should we expect will happen.

Hello,
I will suggest you to tell your mother to void contact with other persons as its contagious through direct skin contact and through respiratory droplets. There may be moderate to severe pain which can sustain for months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
