Does Medication Cause Facial Cracks?

I have recently started breaking out on my face. I was wondering if it might be from one the the medications I just started taking. I am taking Armour Thyroid (30 Mg), Wellbutrin, Iodoral, and Vitiamin D. Could any of these things be contributing to it. Thank you in advance.

Cracking and dryness of the facells might be because of hypothyroidism rather than the effect of medications. Hypothyroidism is known to cause dryness and cracking over fave. Emolients containing liquid paraffin can be used over the affected area. Oral antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be used if you have itching. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
