Hi i do care for your concern.
The drugs you have mentioned have common side effect of developing rashes.
But onset of rashes after 10 days of stopping drug is quiet unusual.
I would advise to
Check for other causes of allergy such as insect bite, exposure to dust etc, and minimize the exposure.
Once allergen is discovered then de-sensitization procedure can be done for long term relief.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
