Hi,
The cause of rash may be different. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. probably it may be some allergy. I would recommend him to apply mild steroid cream on the rash. Give him a course of steroid in tapering course. If there is itching,give him antihistaminic like levocetirizine. The rash cwused by drug would be proved by trial and error method.
Hope this helps.
