Hi,
Yes, these rashes could be allergic reactions to the drug. Penicillin group of drugs cause allergy very commonly. You can switch to other group of drugs since you have had a hypersensitivity reaction. Antihistamines or steroids can be used to reduce the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
