If there's is itching, it is likely to be an allergic reaction. Discontinue the medicine causing the same. You can use an antihistamine tablet also. Steroid cream may be used.
There's a possibility that the rash is due HS purpura which needs to be looked into more. I shall be happy to give my opinion if you can upload a picture.
