Hi welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have read your question and here is my advice.
In fact the BP you said would need some medication , i would advise you should now see your doctor to start drugs to control BP.
Regarding the rash, that can be best said after seeing that , however if you have started anti platelets like asprin, or clopidogril , that may be the cause as they sometimes do cause rash but that should be said after seeing it .
Hopes i have answered your question. I would be glad to answer any thing else you want to know in this regards.
Kind Regards
Dr Rahamn
