Hi,
Lialda are sulpha groups. These drugs are quite commonly associated with allergies and skin rashes. So if the rash has developed after the start of the drug there is high probability that it may caused by the drug. Let your doctor know this as we may need stop the drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
