Hi,
There are a lot of seizure medications. dermatological conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them. The rash with Dilantin family medications cross reacts across all similarly acting medications and is a very very serious rash. Smaller rashes can be a coincidence; the full scale one you'd notice. There are a lot of other seizure medicines of different chemical composition.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
