See a dermatologist: Although Diovan (valsartan) is quite safe medicine to use and he have taken it for more than 5 years, but still a chance of allergy cannot be ruled out. I still think that the rash needs an expert consultation, and may be a biopsy. Sometimes it may be eczema and other time may be more sinister than that. Time to see a dermatologist.

Rash: A picture should help. Diovan (valsartan) doesn't necessarily cause rashes. Perform a virtual consult to help you.
