Overview
A drug rash is a skin condition that is caused by a medication. Also known as a drug eruption or drug reaction, it is a wide-varying condition. The drug causing the reaction does not need to be applied to the skin to cause the rash; it can be caused by a drug taken orally. While some drugs may require multiple doses to cause the rash, other drug rashes may occur after a single use. The rash might appear within minutes to days.
