skin rash

I have been taking Arimidex for almost 2 years.  Outside of hot-flashes, no other side-effects.  About 3 weeks I got a rash or acne in a small area on my face.  It now goes over my nose, on my upper lip and some on lower lip areas. Iam 57 and always had a good complection so I'm not sure if this is acne or a rash.  Could this be caused by Arimidex?
thanks

Dear keith600:  If you have been taking arimidex for 2 years it is unlikely that this "skin" problem is directly related.  You may want to have your doctor take a look to determine what this might be and whether any treatment is warranted.
