Any ideas on this rash/bruise?

Hi all, am posting on behalf of my poor grandma who is v stressed - she’s had a weird rash come up all over one shoulder and down onto her chest. She’s seen a gp who said it was bruising/bleeding under the skin and nothing to worry about, but couldn’t suggest any reason for it.

I did say to her that the gp probably knows
what he’s talking about but she’s v anxious so I said I’d post a pic and see if anyone has had anything similar.

Her whole shoulder is v sore but there’s been no trauma or anything (she’s 88 with a range of health/mobility problems but is 100% still there mentally). She has had a massive cyst removed from her other shoulder previously.

Any advice much appreciated, thank you

It looks almost scalded/sun burn-y to me. Looks like she has some dry skin too.

Was it sore before she noticed the rash? Has she been applying creams? Might have got mixed up and used the wrong thing and it's reacted.
