Brief Answer:
Possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Cephalexin can cause hypersensitivity reaction, it is possible to cause such rash. However on careful history and examination it needs to rule out other reasons for such rash which are also common.
I suggest to go back to your primary or prescribing doctor for evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care,
Dr. Suma Parinam
