Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
This could be a reaction to one of the several drugs, you have been exposed / including thiazide.
A direct look at the lesion is necessary - for proper assessment and assistance / it may an allergic rash or vascular - purpura..
You should see your doctor.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
