Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern. With the information you have provided, without an in person exam or knowledge of your full medical history I can say that flushed dry skin is one of the many side effects of amitryptiline. Why just one cheek and not the other, it is hard to say. It would be best if you sent a picture so I can have a better idea of whether is it flushing or a rash.
Regards.
