What Causes Red Bumps With Dry Flaky Skin All Over The Body?

My bedmate has a severe red blotchy itchy rash on his entire arms which he claims is from mechanics oil and harsh soap to clean........therefore causing this brutal infection. This irritant has spread now ALL over his body. Lil red bumps , flakey dry peeling skin cover most of his body now. Is this contagious? I wake up in the morning to find a bed full of yuck!
