Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You are having coronary artery disease and angioplasty done with stent placement in Right coronary.
The medicine which you are taking regularly commonly prescribed like clopidogrel,metaprolol,Statin,and nitrayes.
If you have developed allergy then it is possible that one of the drug or contents of drugs are causing allergy , the best way to know discuss with your treating physician and they can be stopped except the essential one and see if there is improvement then introducing other drugs one by one, but do it under supervision of Physician.
You can also discuss with Dermatologist to try to identify offender drug if any then it can be changed with alternative.
Please also pay attention to diet and any particular antigen which specifically cause it.
Please take care
Good Luck
