Brief Answer:
it can be due to sarcoidosis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think there can be following causes of these rashes.
1. It can be due to Sarcoidosis. In sarcoidosis skin rashes are common.
2. It can be drug reaction due to either cancer drugs or sarcoidosis medicines.
3. It can be due to allergic reaction or contact dermatitis.
So rule out these causes you need to visit a doctor, and get your self examined. After that you can start treatment. usually a cortisone cream is prescribed in such cases along with stopping all related medicines.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know If there is any other followup questions.
I will try my best to help you.
thanks
