My husband had kidney stones blasted. I dont know if he got a rash but I know he was taking several medications including pain med...check to see if any meds you are taking have a rash as a side effect.
also call your insurance co - it's an hmo sometimes they have a doc on call to answer questions like yours (they are hoping to avoid an er visit also)
good luck..hope the stones dont come back...my husbands hasnt 2 years later
