Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome back on Ask a Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that the rash could be related to an allergic reaction to drugs. Does he feel itching ?

What are the names of the drugs that he is taking actually?

Subcutaneous bleeding can not be excluded either.

Could you please upload a photo of the rash for me to review directly in order to give a more professional opinion ?

I remain at your disposal whenever you need!

Kind regards,

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
