Hi,
Stoppage of cigarette smoking usually do not cause any rash. In my opinion, your rash could be due to an allergic reaction to a substance or could be due to an insect bite hypersensitivity.
The accurate diagnosis could be made only after proper examination. So, I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist for arriving at a proper diagnosis and for initiating apt treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Siva Subramanian,
