@sallylynn Definitely not a bother! You are concerned and reaching out for answers.
Here is a link to what Mayo Clinic says about lisinopril. I was surprised to see that a rash might be a side effect, albeit unusual but not life-threatening: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/lisinopril-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20069129?p=1#:~:text=Side%20Effects,-Along%20with%20its%20needed%20effects
Another thing to think about is niacin - is this something you take in a vitamin or supplement? I know it caused "itchies" for me in the past.
Perhaps with the things you are taking, your system being compromised with the UTI, and the worry you are experiencing all together, there is a bit of a "rebellion" going on internally, and manifesting externally too. Afterall, it seems like there are several things going on at once. Do you think this might be something to consider?
As to hemoglobin in your urine, it is not a surprise if you have had an infection to see a trace.

I forgot to say my glucose was 108 yesterday, (I have a meter at home) a bit over the normal range. It was normal on July 31 at 75. My BP is good, I have a cuff at home.
