bad rash on chest

Hello, My brother has  a rash on his chest and underarm 4 days ago. At first it was only small,red, itchy bumps and over the last few days it has turned into *****, scabby welts. He says they hurt more than itch now. Like a blister.
He has been taking cellcept for over a year for an eye condition ( for uveitis). He also was taking care of a puppy for a friend. Could it be from one of those things?
Thanks

Germs are very opportunistic. I would highly recommend visiting your physician ASAP. Your brother may have developed a infection that may be contagious and spread. Have your brother wash all his bedding, disinfect all surfaces. Our bodies tell us when something is wrong and this rash may be only the beginning.
