HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Medications do have the potential to cause a rash, either as a allergic reaction or a side effect of the medication itself.
In some cases the effect can decrease as the medication is continued but if this does not occur and you are not able to use an alternative, you may need to consider seeing a dermatologist to determine what can be used to help.
Topical steroid skin creams may help.
I hope this helps
