Hello,
The rash which your husband is developing can be a side effect of Hydrocodone. You can report to your doctor & get the medicine replaced by some other medication that suits your husband better.
Apply hydrocortisone ointment in the area affected. You can also use water based moisturizer. Sometimes, antihistamines interact with Hydrocodone. Do not take the two medications at the same time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
