    My husband has a raised red blotchy rash that has spread from his face, neck and hands to other parts of the body.  His skin has cracked in places and is flaking.  Doctor has finally decided it might be ramipril and has stopped it. He is on steroids to calm the skin condition.

    I have been taking Ramipril for six months. Since starting I've had an irritating dry cough and terrible itching. Always suffered from eczema but hadn't had much trouble since I reached my twenties but now Rosacea on my face and eczema patches on my back, legs and chest. Breast itching too. I am seventy one years old.
