Suggest Treatment For Itchy, Red Rashes On Arms And Neck

My cousin slept on a dirty couch two nights ago.. And yesterday when he returned home he had a rash on his arms and behind his neck (where his skin was exposed).. The rash is red, itches, and is diffused. It's also right on top of his veins..It doesn't really look like bites. As of this morning it has spread. What could it be and how do we treat this?
