Has he seen a doctor? He can get a steriod shot that will help dry up the rash some. I really recommend it.
I had it two years ago on about 70-80% of my body. If I hadn't gotten treatment ASAP I think I would have ended up in the hospital. Even after a shot and a course of pills I had it literally forehead to ankle, including on my areolas! The problem was I got gouged with the vine (it was a really old growth and the vine was 1" diameter at the base) and the oil got into my bloodstream. My doctor said he's never seen anything like it before.
