Itchy Red Rash Breakout Post Intake Of Lisinopril, Been Taking It Since A Year. Cause?

Hello,

I have been on Lisinopril 20 mg daily for over a year now. The last 2 days within 2 hours of taking my dose I have broken out with a raised rash that burns and is itchy. Is it possible to develop an allergic reaction this late after initiation of the medication without any prior problems? There have been no other medication or soap/ lotion, ect... changes?
