Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'skin' (the body's external covering) with 'rash' (a group of red, itchy spots typically on skin); the compound simply specifies a rash located on the skin and is therefore predictable from its parts. This noun-noun composition is common cross-linguistically and follows a straightforward compositional pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words would understand.
Etymology
Skin rash comes from a simple picture: the skin is suddenly 'covered with many small red spots' and feels itchy, and that sudden 'breaking out' of spots is a rash. So skin rash means 'an area of irritated skin'.
