What Causes Red Rashes On The Face While On Hydroxyurea?

Hello, I have been on Hydroxyurea for about 6 years now and recently developed a rash on my face. Two oval type red blotches that can turn crusty. I have discontinued use of cosmetics and no change in condition. Just worried it could be a side effect from the drug. Thank you.
