'rash' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'sick prisoner with face with florid' is the wordplay.
'sick' becomes 'ill' (synonyms).
'prisoner' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for 'convict').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'face with' becomes 'side' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'florid' becomes 'red' (I've seen this before).
'ill'+'con'+'side'+'red'='ILL-CONSIDERED'
