Brief Answer:
a possible drug reaction

Detailed Answer:
hi welcome to health care magic.
yes it is possible that sudden onset of rash is a drug reaction. could you tell me whether she has any history of fever or vomitings and what are all the drugs she is presently using so that we can possibly guess the diagnosis.
thank you and all the best.
