What Causes Rash On Body After Stopping Smoking?

Hello Doctor, Some 19 months ago I ceased to smoke, went cold turkey, as it were. I have developed a severe rash of 30 days duration. A heart medication (amlodpne besylate) was eliminated, thought to be the cause. No mention was made of the cessation factor. Could this be the cause? Ruth Wilson
