Have it evaluated.: A drug reaction can occur for several reasons- a coincidental finding due to another cause, the result of the illness, or the drug itself. An "allergic reaction" to a drug results in several specific signs and symptoms. If your daughter is breathing without difficulty, return to your prescriber and have the "skin irritation" evaluated.
