I doubt its an allergy to egg, though its possible. The area that is affected here is commonly affected due to heat, as there is a skin fold there where moisture can collect and the warmth can contribute to infection. Keep her skin clean and dry. If the rash persists, take her to your vet. I would avoid egg for now, but again, I am doubtful that the egg was the cause of the issue.
