I recently got a rash on one side of my face. Could a change in birth control pills be causing this rash?

It is possible. Any time you change medications, you could experience a new side effect.

However, not all new symptoms are caused by medications. You would need to have your rash examined by a doctor in order to see if it is simply a drug side effect, or if something unrelated to the medication is causing the rash.
