Usually the rule of thumb is that a drug eruption, or reaction to something
taken orally...(some strawberry/raspberry/food allergies) is not typically
localized to one area of the body. Usually the eruption is more global.
Eruptions that are only in one spot, can indicate something external was
contacted and reacted to. This can be soap used to wash clothes, fabric
softeners, shampoos, body washes, perfumes, etc.
Here is a good website about cutaneous drug reactions:

notice this section of the website:

Nutrition
* Vitamin C (250 to 500 mg two times per day) stabilizes certain types of skin cells and stops reactions.
* B-complex with extra B12 (1,000 mcg per day) aids in skin health.
* Vitamin E (400 to 800 IU per day) improves circulation to your skin.
* Zinc (30 to 50 mg per day) supports the immune system.
* Bromelain (125 to 250 mg two to three times per day) reduces inflammation.
* Magnesium (400 to 800 mg per day) may help prevent spasms in the bronchial passages.

There may be something in the vitamins as Buttons suggested, that
you cannot tolerate. Or you have come into contact with something else.
There are rashes associated with viruses, and these are called viral exanthems.
Here is a good article with pictures about them:
http://dermatology.cdlib.org/93/revi...ral/scott.html
scroll down to Pityriasis rosea... which is very common.
While children are most often involved, adults get exanthems too.
Buttons--- look on your Bcomplex list and see if Niacin is in there, as niacin,
not nicotinamide. Niacin causes flushing is some people. The flushing can be blocked by taking an aspirin 1 hr before the niacin.(if a person can safely take aspirin, that is).
