Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have skin rashes seems skin allergy which is caused by unknown drug interaction.

I would suggest you

- Apply cold compresses on skin.

- Use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel.

- Avoid exposure to sunlight and cover skin while going outside.

- Drink plenty of water.

You should visit dermatologist once. For skin allergy you should go for allergy tests that can be done to determine the source of allergen. Start treatment after proper prescription. Till then stop taking any medications.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
