Brief Answer:
Upload pictures of the drug rash

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I can understand your concern.Your mother has developed drug rash to the medicines prescribed to her but it is very difficult to say which is the causative drug as she is on multiple drugs.
It is very good that you have stopped her medicines. If your mother is having only rashes without any systemic complaints I would recommend her to apply cream containing clobetasol propionate diluted in a moisturizing lotion in the ratio of 1:3 twice daily on the affected areas and take tablet levocetrizine twice daily.
Besides this I would also recommend you to upload her pictures so as to ascertain the nature of the rash so that treatment can be modified accordingly.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
