Hi
I don't think it is related to the pressure. Although it can be evaluated best by direct examination, to me it appears to be an anal tag. No specific treatment is needed in such age for tag. But better get her evaluated by a pediatric surgeon.
For fever give paracetamol and if it persists more than 72-96 hours get her evaluated to rule out any bacterial infection.
