Can Medication Cause Skin Problem?

hi, this week my doc started me on 40mg lisinopril a day added to my 25mg hydrochlorothyazide. he also started me on 20mg zocor and raised my synthroid from 100 to 150mg and low level farxiga was added , all due to my latest lab results- could this be making the skin on only my arms red and blotchy (under skin, not a rash), giving me small muscle cramps in odd places like toes, neck, sides. Am also having some wild vivid dreams and nightmares but no issues with getting to sleep.
