Need help on what to do with Heat Rash-like symptoms

[sHenZee03]

My roommate is having this heat rash thingamajig. It's not contagious since it's been around for 5 days from the onset and I wasn't infected.

Here is a picture of the rashes which covers her entire body.


Other symptoms are:
- spiking fever (occurs at night)
- itchiness on localized areas (usually on her fingers and toes)

We'd appreciate anyone who'd be able to impart any knowledge about this. We thought it was "dopang" at first but it usually disappears within the day and this has been occurring for 5 days now. She doesn't wanna see a doctor because she thinks it'll just go away soon. @_@

Nope, she doesn't have asthma. She's taking paracetamol for the fever and then applies Caladryl for the itch.

hmmmm im not sure ha but this looks like atopic dermatitis. its a commom rash and appears as patches on the skin. judging from the photo it doesnt seem severe man pud. it usually goes for week without treatment but applying caladryl will help pud with the itchiness. tell you friend to go to the derma nalang para maasses ug tarong

But atopic dermatitis doesn't seem to be accompanied by fever, does it? @_@
