Do Terazosin And Lisinopril Cause Rashes All Over The Body?
I now take Terazosin and Lisinopril for high blood pressure. Shortly after starting to take both I have developed a bump like rash all over my body, looks like mosquito or flea bumps, but close checks I find no such cause. Could the medication be a cause?

Hello,
Skin rash is more with Lisinopril than Terazocine.
Lisinopril induced rash may be due to accumulation of bradykinin in blood.
Rash may be due to mosquito bites or thrombocytopenia or folliculitis etc.
Use antihistamine twice a day for five days. Apply moisturizer cream. Check for platelet count.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
