I am sorry to hear about Roxy. Based on your photos I definitely think she needs to see a veterinarian. She likely has a bacterial or yeast infection of the skin (or both) which could be secondary to allergies or mites. She needs a vet exam to check for these issues and prescribe appropriate treatment. If your roommate's dog is biting in aggression, this also needs to be addressed with a vet as this is a large dog and could do a great deal of damage if the biting continues/worsens.
