I recommend that your father see a doctor. There are many different causes for skin rashes. Allergies are certainly a possibility, but not the only one. We can't diagnose him over the internet, nor can we recommend a treatment plan. That needs to come from a doctor who has examined him in person.
Sorry about that,
Kathi
