Rashes, Supposedly Fungus. Taking Lisinopril And Clotrimazole. Are They Side Effects?

yes I am on a bp med called lisinopril-20mg. I started it about 2 months ago on a Thursday and on the following Saturday I started breaking out all over my body.i went to doctor about 3 weeks later with the rash and he said I had a fungus he didn't think it was bp med...well gave me med for fungus...went back to doc last Friday cause rash had gotten worse all over my back,arms and now on my breasts and back of legs..he told me to try spraying myself with another fungus spray..so I did and he prescribe some lotion called clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate which I have been using on my arms..still the rash on back,hips and back of arms and legs getting worse..i believe it is the bp meds and have looked it up and its side effects are rash and scaleing like psarosious...if I quit takieing the lisinopril what are the side effects..

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
You know , you have one thing in your mind that rashes are due to side effects of lisinopril .
I want to tell one thing that development of rashes were a coincidence with the use of lisinopril.
Side effects of lisinopril are ,
HYPOTENSION,
RENAL FAILURE,
dizziness,
headache, hyperklaemia &
angiedema.
So take lisinopril as advise your treating doctor.
For rashes consult a dermatologist and get his opinion and deal accordingly.
Get well soon.
