Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to drugs as rash may occur with Metronidazole or IV antibiotics, as well as with pneumonia. Sometimes Staph pneumonia can cause rash. It should be reviewed by your primary care physician and may need change of antibiotics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
