Is A Rash On The Face A Side Effect Of Meloxicam?

Monday of this week I went to my dermatologist for a rash on my face. I had blood work which she didn t receive yet . I received a message from her that she remembered me mentioning at the appointment that I recently started taking meloxicam 7.5 mg. I started in February for arthritis, I also take Methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis. Could this rash be due to the meloxicam and is it serious enough to stop.
