If you think it's an allergic reaction to the medication, you need to speak to your GP.

I have but the gp thinks it could be tamulosin that I have been on since 2016.it is either famatodine, tamulosin or atorvastatin, she is getting in touch with dermatologist.

If it's appeared since you started statins, I would suggest to your GP that in the meantime you stop the statins and see if the rash goes away.
