Hi
welcome to HCM
I appreciate your concern towards the safety of Sporanox.

Yes rashes can be the side effects of Sporanox.

Sporanox is used to treat infections caused by fungus.
In addition to causing rash (urticaria) it can also cause itching, difficult breathing; swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Hope your query has been explained.
Give your feedback if convinced.
