Is it possible to develop an itchy rash all over after taking a medication or iron supplement after a year?

Not after 1 year: usually will happen within a couple of weeks.

Not likely: However, allergic skin rashes that develop from a supplement can cause severe reactions and need to be assessed by a family doctor, dermatologist or allergist.
