Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am sorry to hear about this rash and the eventual fever that your daughter has developed. From the description of these symptoms, the break in her skin on the butt has created an opening for germs to gain access into the body and cause and infection. The fact that she has now developed fevers warrants and immediate consultation for proper investigation and management. You may continue to use the fever to control the fever but getting her evaluated by a pediatrician is the best next step. All the creams you have applied are able to deal with the itches' by not the cause of these itches except they are allergies. If this is a child, the most common cause is usually a fungal infection that needs antifungal creams and not steroids. However, without examining the patient it would be difficult to make a definitive call and that's why getting consulted is of prime importance. I hope this helps and guides you. Thanks for using our services and feel free to request for more information if need be. I wish your daughter well. Thanks.
