Carbimazole side effects

Hi, I've just recently been diagnosed with Graves' Disease and have been put on carbimazole. I have extremely sensitive skin and have broke out in a rash all down my neck, I was just wondering are rashes a normal side effect of carbimazole or should I be concerned?

I didn't have a rash but I had unbearable itching all over my body. I knew to stop them right away as I had same itching when I had bile duct/ liver problems & when starting Carbimazole I was told to watch out for these type of symptoms.
