A sudden rash all over the body can happen for many reasons. Since you take lisinopril, it could be an allergic reaction to the medication.

Possible Causes:
Medication reaction – Some people get rashes from lisinopril or other drugs.
Allergy – Could be from food, soap, detergent, or something you touched.
Viral infection – Some viruses cause body rashes.
Heat or stress – Can trigger sudden rashes in some people.
What You Can Do:
Stop any new skin products to see if they’re causing it.
Take an antihistamine (like loratadine or cetirizine) if it’s itchy.
Use a gentle, fragrance-free soap and lotion.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Watch for serious symptoms like swelling, trouble breathing, or a fever.
When to See a Doctor:
If the rash gets worse, doesn’t go away, or comes with swelling or trouble breathing, see a doctor right away.
Since you take lisinopril, your doctor should check if it's a reaction to the medication.

Could be an allergic reaction (hives). If not relieved with Allegra, Claritin, or Zyrtec visit a local doctor. sooner if the rash is extending. Avoid aspirin, shellfish, and citrus for now.
