Hello
It seems from the history that you are taking Doxazosin. Doxazosin is an antihypertensive drug and the allergic reaction to doxazosin is known to cause rashes and itching and other symptoms.
Hence these symptoms are indicating allergic response to the drug. Hence I advice you to stop the drug and you may require anti-allergic drugs to get rid of the symptoms.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
