Hi,
Thanks for query as per your quesyion most likely these rashes are side effect of antiviral therapy you are on.However to differenciate it from allergic rash i would suggest you to take anti allergic like fexofenadine once daily for 3 dats if rash does not respond to it most likely its a side effect of the drug.
thanks
