What Causes Outbreak Of Rashes All Over The Body Of An Elderly Person?

I am a nurse of 39 years and have a 90 year old pt. who has broke out in rash all over back 5 days ago. That is improving with cortisone and Benadryl at bedtime but he continues to get rash in other areas behind knees and in crease of arms as well as today the top of his feet. He has not started any new medications or ingested any new foods. No soap changes and lotion is applied daily for years.
