Your uncle likely developed the skin rash due to an allergic reaction to one of the medicines. Drug allergies can cause rashes, itching, or red spots on the body. He should stop the medicines immediately and consult a doctor as soon as possible. If he develops swelling of the face, breathing difficulty, or severe itching, seek emergency medical care.
