Hi.
The rash could be drug induced hypersensitivity associated with urticaria. But the rash in groin could be due to Tinea or a candidal infection. As there are multiple differential diagnoses, you should consult your Dermatologist to pin point the final diagnosis and the management depends on final diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
