Yes Gabapentine can cause rash.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness.
Talking to your doctor is good to do.Stop taking it now and then talk to him
