Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Pycnogenol is a herbal product so it should not interact with Tamsulozin or any similar medication. There are no proved side effects or interactions,however scientific studies are limited. All in all,this rash should not be caused by any of these two medications especially if you are taking flomax for so many years and you took pycnogenol already before. In every case , if you have any doubts you should consult your doctor. Wish you good health. Regards
