I have already been prescribed cortisone and an antifungal because she has already had very irritated buttocks. Are the spots an infection?

Good evening ma'am,
Hard to tell without seeing the pimples (one thing for sure, I can't comment on whether or not there is an infection).
Is your baby wearing cloth diapers?
In an ideal world (!), we would try to reduce diaper wear as much as possible over the next few days, to allow for less diaper rubbing on the skin. We would try this technique for at least 48 hours before starting a cream treatment, just to see if we can solve the problem without medication.
