        Hi simmy!

        I had similar rash which was mostly on my body, looked almost all red from neck to toe not alot of redness hit my face though. But this only lasted about 2 weeks vanished than came back for another couple of weeks not as bad and has now vanished the dermatologist said it was lichenoid dermatitis. Luckily mine wasn't that itchy was offered an ointment but refused and it went away in a few weeks. 

        As for your feet issue had similar problem also they get very sore and painful to walk on especially first thing in the morning and after a long rest. This was also accompanied by arthritic pain in ankles, knees and odd places all over. Am 6 month into taking the drug and most those side effects have lessened. The first 3 months saw most of the crazy symptoms than they have settled down in the past 3 months. 

        Dont know if any of that helps but best of luck
