Rash starting from vaginal area

My 80 yr old mom has developed a severe rash from vaginal area into groin,up back side. Very red,fiery,itchy. Any clue anyone? Could this be related to medication, she has been on Keppra for about a year now,used to complain of vague itching but this is really bad now. Thanks

could be from any number of things -- I would take her to the doctor & get a prescription cream (possibly one with a mild steriod or the like) to help reduce redness, itching  & irritation....
