Rash is "sarpullido" or you could say "reacción alérgica de la piel" in case that is too technical.

Ah thank you....that will help me to explain in spanglish to my boyfriend haha. So do I pronounce sarpullido as sarpuyido?
And I can just say tengo sarpullido?

saidto me the other day as "erupcion" accent over "o" that I don't know how to do. Indicating a rash as a reaction to a prescription.

Yes, the ll sound is more or less the same as y. Although it might not be 100% correct it will get the meaning across. Erupción, as johne said, is another word that you could use, but again, add "de la piel" to avoid confusion.

If you use ALL of them he might think you have rashes all over your body!

I hear "picason" or "hinchason" used to describe a rash. If it is real swollen use "hinchason" or "reaccion alergica" if it is real bad and if it is just kind of red but not to swollen I would say "picason".

By the time this girl finishes with all of these definitions for a rash her novio is going to run for the hills.
