Hello my friend
Thanks for your question on HCM
Yes Gabapentine can cause rash.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness.
Talking to your doctor is good to do.Stop taking it now and then talk to him
Hope this information is helpful
Best regards
