My get skin gets red easily and briefly after scratching. is this normal? i also had allergic reaction recently from a med, maybe still in system?

There is a condition: called dermatographism, where when you scratch your skin it will cause red inflammed reaction where you scratched the skin. There is no treatment but antihistamines can help. Drug rashes can persist up to one month after you stop taking the medication in most cases, but it doesn't sound like that.
