Brief Answer:
It could be due to an allergic reaction.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The skin reaction is quite common with Sulfameth.

It will be better to stop the drug and switch to other medicines.
For the rashes, you can apply ointments like Betnovate. You can also take antihistamines like Cetirizine or atarax.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
