What Causes Rashes On Upper Part Of Arms And Chest While On Temazepam?

I have recently started taking Temzepam for sleep in the last month. I am outside in the sun and in a pool in Florida. I am wondering if the rash could be caused by the Temzepam? I have been in pool and out in sun for 2 months rash did not start until I started this medication, Rash is on upper part of my arms and upper part of chest.
