Reddish Blotchy Face, Rashes On The Neck And Arms. Skin Allergy?

am asking on behalf of my adult (over 60) friend who has developed a bright red blotchy face - almost all over, as well as on the bottom part of her neck and a bit on her arms. Its been like this for some 2 weeks and no sign of any relief. Her doctor says it may be a skin virus, and/or a skin allergy. Would appreciate a 2nd opinion.Louise
