Please upload an image and consider these guidelines
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I had gone through your question very diligently and I really appreciate your concern for your husband
Apart from tamsulosin, Allopurinol may cause rashes and itching so I would advise you to switch over of allopurinol to other anti gout drug like uricosuric as probenecid or Fibuxostat drug with certain life style modifications like avoidance of high protein diet
Another possibility is inadequate sugar control with metformin. High blood sugar level can cause pruritis or itching
So I would advise you to get blood test done
sugar fasting and post prandial
liver function test
Kidney function test
CBC ( complete blood count) and AEC ( absolute eosinophil count)
Please write back to me with his latest blood reports and a photograph of the rashes so that I will be able to tell you more accurately
Wishing him good health
Regards
