As explained below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If you are having rash by taking Eliquis, I would suggest you to meet your treating doctor for alternative medicine.

For relieving the side effect you can take over the counter antihistamines such as Diphenhydramine, Hydroxyzine such as Benadryl/ Atarax respectively twice daily for 2 to 3 days.

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