Being a person who is allergic to codeine, I can relate my allergic crisis:
Within 1 hour of taking my FIRST tablet of Tylenol 3 I started itching persistently. Within 2 hours, I had a rash which covered my entire body and the itching was so severe that I literally covered my hands in socks to keep from ripping my skin into shreds (I have always had long, real nails.)
I called the doctor when my reaction started giving me a suffocating feeling. I had to go to the ER for an injection to stave off the allergic reaction.
Granted this is probably not the TYPICAL allergic reaction, but intense itching IS. A small, localized rash may or may not be an allergic reaction. Best thing to do is not take the med if there is ANY question of allergy before a doctor can be consulted.
