It could be a reaction to the medication she is taking. Take her back to her doctor, for examination and to find out what rash is it and what is the cause, such that it can be rectified and treated.

Hi well come to HCM
measly form rashes are known to occur with drugs like Ampicillin, Amoxicilin it could
be that if she is on that. For you need not withdraw drugs it will go on its own.
If not used it could be allergic rash to drugs. Bring this to notice of your Doctor if
any change in drug is required he will suggest it. Thanks
