If you haven’t taken her to a doctor, please do so. Make sure she does not become dehydrated, give her pedialyte popsicles(they’re great) or some other form of hydrater. As for the rash I always used Sudocrem, it is the best, My doc calls it the “miracle diaper rash cream” if that does not work your doctor can prescribe a diaper rash cream. Keep it dry and let her go with no diaper for a bit (I know, easier said than done) but it really helps it heal, bacteria grows in dark damp places (ie. daipers).
good luck!!!

Is the poop greenish? Rash and diarrhea are often accompanied by a fever when babies are teething.
Probably multiple teeth will break through at one time. My son terribly sick for weeks and got four new ones in the end.
If her gums look red and you the gums themselves, you might even feel the teeth right underneath the surface. If you don’t see or feel anything, though, it might be something completely different that needs a trip to the pediatrician.

are you giving your baby juice? if you give your baby lots of juice it will cause them to have runny stools, and can also cause a rash. friut will sometimes do that. when buying diaper cream look for the one with the highest amount of zinc oxide- its what helps heal and protect from rashes. 40% is the best i think you can get nowadays. balmex normally only has 11%. i hope this helps.

soothing oatmeal baths with warm water, looser diaper (if you can), baby oil thin coat or even try the extra strength balmex

TAKE THE BABY TO THE DOCTOR. At that age diarrhea for 2 wks she is most likely dehydrated and I am willing to bet that when you take her to the doctor the baby will be admitted to the hospital so that they can give her an IV to rehydrate her. It could be a virus or an allergy.
BAG BALM for the diaper rash. Wal~Mart carries it in the Pet section. I used it on all 5 of my children. It works better than the diaper rash medicines. If you have changed diapers or wipes recently it could well be the cause. One of my children was allergic to all of the wipes and I finally found the one type of diapers my child could ware. It took me about 4 mos. to figure out That is was a multiple problem and the solution

Don’t experiment, take your baby to the pediatrician and he or she could take you or recommend you a dermatologist especially for babies.

did you see your doctor?
so your baby is 9 months…. any dietary changes in the 2or3 days before the diarrhea started? does she has any stomach pain/ well i know it’s kind of hard to know, but does she cry more than usual?/ and is there’s a yes to these questions try to remove the food and give her a medicine suitable for her age. the last advise is in case you can’t reach a doc.
