The rash is quite extensive, i suspect it might be related to the spay surgical site that has been bothering her, you will need to take her to the vet in order to get some meds to treat this rash, she will probably need a course of antibiotics as well. the surgical incision looks fine by the way so i wouldn't worry about it.
